RESEARCHERS at the University of Exeter, who are working on an initiative to curb traffic congestion in and around the city, are issuing a final call for help from commuters.

More than 2,000 people have already responded to an online survey which is aimed at anyone over the age of 17 who commutes into or within Exeter to work or for study.

Experts from the University’s Geography department are now leading a last push to get as many people as possible to complete the 10-minute survey which closes at 5pm this coming Sunday, June 19. As an added incentive, those who take part are being given an opportunity to win an Ipad Pro.

The innovative survey examines commuting habits, typical journey details, influencing factors and knowledge of existing alternative transport initiatives.

The information gathered will be used to develop a deeper understanding about the types of people regularly commuting in the region and what determines their decision making.

Results will be used to identify groups of people to work with later this year on ways of reducing congestion using smart technologies, changes in transport infrastructure and by promoting behaviour change.
