Manchester Regional Key Centre Analysis

• This PowerPoint presentation has been created to accompany GMTU Report 996 – GMATS Manchester Regional Key Centre report

• Whereas report 996 presents detailed tabulations, this presentation has been designed to provide a summary of the main aspects of the data

GMATS Surveys 2002

Report 996P – Manchester Regional Key Centre

2


• The presentation has been designed so that it can be used independently of GMTU Report 996 for those who want an overview of the traffic movements around Trafford but do not wish to see the detailed tabulations

• GMTU Reports 996 & 996P are part of a series of reports presenting the data from the 2002 GMATS surveys

GMATS Surveys 2002

Report 996P – Manchester Regional Key Centre

3


• Travellers leaving Manchester Regional Key Centre by car & bus were asked about their journeys as they crossed a cordon around the centre

• Passengers boarding at the 5 central rail stations and the central zone Metrolink stations were also interviewed

• This presentation gives an overview of the findings from those surveys

• It considers first people who had visited the Centre, then those travelling through

• Note that the GMATS survey points lie outside the Inner Relief Road - this was to ease the collecting of the data and maximise the use of the data for traffic model purposes The Key Centre monitoring points for the LTP lie inside the survey cordon

• This latter cordon extends to cover part of Salford and defines the Regional Key Centre used in this analysis
