Details

Analysis of the National Travel Survey for 2019 shows disabled adults (aged 16 years and over) in England made on average 26% fewer trips and travelled 41% fewer miles than non-disabled adults.

Both disabled and non-disabled adults rely predominantly on car travel. It accounts for around 3 in 5 trips for both groups. However, around a third of the trips made by disabled adults where car was the main mode were as a passenger, whereas for non-disabled adults around a fifth were as a passenger.
