The Mayor’s target is to increase walking by 1%, or 57,000 trips a day by 2031 Previous qualitative research has armed TfL with insights on walking for both utility and leisure journeys; including the various motivations and barriers that exist simultaneously in people’s minds. These include Personal, Social and Environmental factors The findings of several studies in sustainable travel suggest that the same behaviour change model applies to walking as it does for most other transport/travel behaviour change.

    Analysis of Walking Potential 2016 Policy Analysis Report March 2017 Analysis of Walking Potential March 2017 Contents Executive summary 3 1. Introduction 12 2. Methodology 14 3. Potentially walkable trips 17 4. Where are potentially walkable trips being made? 27 5. Potentially walkable stages 36 6. The total potential for walking 46 7. Conclusions 54 2 Executive summary Key findings Londoners make 3.6 million daily journeys by motorised modes (car, motorcycle, taxi or public transport) that could be walked, at least in part Of these, nearly 2.4 million trips could be walked all the way These trips are mostly made by car or bus, with most taking place in outer London Forty per cent of these trips would take less than 10 minutes for most people to walk The remaining 1.2 million potentially walkable journeys are those that could only be walked part of the way (such as driving or taking the bus to/from a rail station). These are referred to as walk stages. Most potentially walkable stages in central London or in outer London town centres are currently made by public transport and are for work reasons Walking is already a popular mode of travel in London – the most recent Travel in London report shows that on an average day there are 6.3 million walk trips (where walking was the only mode used) and 6.8 million walk stages (where walking was part of a longer trip using other modes) of more than five minutes made in London. More, however, can be done to encourage more people to walk more often – given that, at present, only 34 per cent of adults in London are achieving two 10-minute periods of active travel per day.
