Ms Anne Graham:

I have not seen the report. I imagine that the two local authorities will share it with us and we will certainly seek a copy. It is no surprise that commuting journeys are increasing. The CSO, in its analysis, has shown that, overall, commuting journeys are increasing across the State, people are travelling more for their daily commute and spending a longer time in their daily commute. This is not sustainable from our point of view. The transport strategy is trying to address this by putting in place the infrastructure that is required to meet demand for travel, have that travel undertaken using sustainable modes and have journey times reduced. This is about investment in bus services, bus priority infrastructure and rail infrastructure.
