Statistical Bulletin Trn/2005/2
Scottish Household Survey Travel Diary results for
2003
10. Car journeys: whether paid for parking
(
Table 14)
10.1
Table 14 provides information about the cost, location and
duration of car parking. For each stage of a journey made
as the driver of a car, the interviewer asked "did you pay
for parking at the end of that part of the journey?" and,
for those who said yes, the interviewer asked "where did
you park the vehicle?" The interviewer also asked (of all
except those who said that they used a residential parking
permit) "how much did you pay?" and "how long did you stay
at that parking place?" From April to December 2003, just
under 3% of drivers paid for parking at the end of their
journey. Figures for the rest of the table are based on
fewer than 300 responses, so are subject to large sampling
errors.
10.2 Of those who paid for parking, approximately
two-thirds did so in a commercial car park. One-sixth used
a space on the street, which they had to pay for, and
one-twelfth paid for parking in a car park provided by
their employer or college, etc.
10.3
Part (c) of the table shows that one sixth of
those who paid, paid up to 50p. Approximately half paid
between 50p and 2, and a third paid over 2.
Part (d) shows that 12% of those who paid for
parking parked for up to an hour at the end of their
journey, in a slot they had paid for. Similar proportions
(22-24%) parked for 1-2 hours, for 2-3 hours, and for 3-5
hours. 19% parked for over 5 hours.
