AVERAGE DISTANCE USUAL TRIP TO PLACE OF WORK OR FULL-TIME STUDY
Of those people aged 18 years and over who usually travelled to work or full-time study, six in ten (62%) reported travelling less than 20 kilometres to get to their place of work or full-time study in March 2009; slightly less than in 2006 when nearly two-thirds (66%) travelled less than 20 km (table 4.1 and ABS 2006).
As was the case in 2006, the proportion of Australians travelling less than 5 km to get to their place of work or full-time study was much higher in the regions outside of capital cities (26%) than in capital cities (16%) in 2009. There were 5% of Australians who reported that they did not travel at all to get to their place of work or full-time study (e.g. they may have worked or studied at home) (table 4.1).
