Has the Introduction of the Cycle-to-Work Scheme Increased Levels of Cycling to Work in the UK?

Abstract

Cycling is seen as a sustainable way to travel, and as a factor contributing to a more active and healthy lifestyle, and therefore is being encouraged in the United Kingdom (UK) and elsewhere. The overarching aim of this study is to establish the value of the UK Cycle to Work (tax-free) Bike scheme in encouraging people to cycle to work. Using primary data, collected from 248 scheme participants and 101 non-participants, it attempts to identify whether there was a change in travel behavior among scheme participants and to what extent; and to evaluate if publicity and promotion of the scheme encouraged scheme participation. The study also investigates which socio-economic and other factors influence the propensity to participate in the scheme, and explores the correlation between stages of behavior change and a person’s intention to cycle.
