FOI Responses, Doncaster Borough Council

Dear Mr Lewis

Further to your questions following response to your EIR request, I can confirm that the data was collected using the propensity to cycle tool 1-way commuting trips. This is derived from Census data 'method of travel to work'.

The census data is based on 2011 method of travel to work and the business case was developed in 2019.

I hope this information is helpful.

Kind regards
