Transport Modes Survey

Under the ‘Transport Modes Survey’ credit, points are awarded where there are initiatives in place to measure the use of alternative transportation modes for commuting during the performance period.

Transportation or travel surveys are a common method of measurement for the use of alternative transportation modes and under the ‘Transport Modes Survey’ credit, points are awarded where a transportation modes survey is undertaken to assess the transport use of a building’s regular occupants throughout the performance period.

Additional points are available where the results from the transportation modes survey are compared to Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) ‘Journey to Work’ census data for single-occupant vehicles. Points are awarded where fewer people, as a percentage of the total, drive single-occupant vehicles than the number indicated in the ‘Journey to Work’ census results.
