Associations of mode of travel to work with physical activity, and individual, interpersonal, organisational, and environmental characteristics

Conclusions This study shows that walking to work and using public transport are important contributors to physical activity levels in a working population. Planning, transport and behavioural interventions to promote walking during the commute should take into account the wider determinants. Reducing availability of free work car parking is one possible strategy to discourage car use.
