COMMUTING AND ITS EFFECTS ON LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS: SOME RESULTS FROM A EUROPEAN-WIDE STUDY

The research described in the paper on commuting in the European Community (EC) is exploratory work which presents one example of how the analysis of transport's role in individual and social well-being could be developed. The program involved researchers from seven EC member states and covered the period 1981 to 1986. Four main areas of work were covered; firstly, a comparison of commuting data and trends in the twelve states; secondly, a review of the broad literature on commuting in the EC; thirdly, research into the potential health and safety impacts of commuting journeys and fourthly, research into the participation of commuters in decisions affecting the provision of commuter transport.
