West Midlands Accessibility and Travel Passes

Transport & Movement

The West Midlands Accessibility and Travel Passes datasets are based around the boarding and travel associated to smartcards in the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and linked to the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS). All datasets are anonymised and contain information on the Lower Super Output Area level (LSOA). The 9 datasets contain the following information:

  • Accessibility estimates on Saturdays and Tuesdays to selected POIs (retail centres, supermarkets, clinics, GPs, hospitals, railway stations) based on bus timetables and the ITN road network at OA level 2010-2016.

  • Historic and forecast count of individuals in each LSOA eligible for ENCTS concessionary travel passes in the West Midlands. 

  • Frequency of boardings per month by ENCTS pass holders (age 60+ and disabled) in the West Midlands between 2010 and 2016.

  • Imputed and actual monthly origin-destination flows of ENCTS passengers between LSOAs between January 2014 and August 2016. 

  • Proportion of eligible ENCTS registered population in each LSOA assigned to each of six travel behaviour clusters.
