Frequency of travel

The average (mean) number of journeys taken per day by disabled people (1.54) is less than that for people who are not disabled (1.96). Those whose condition reduces their ability to carry out day-to-day activities a lot have an even lower average number of journeys (1.25). [shown in Figure 12 below]

When only those working full-time are considered, differences are small (2.10 compared to 2.02 for those not disabled). [shown in Figure 13 below]
