Airport Staff Travel Habits
Car usage had decreased up to 2008 from a high of 74% in 2001 to 65% in 2008. In 2009 however, Dublin Airport saw a decrease in the amount of staff using the bus to get to work, from 23% in 2008 to 20% in 2009. This drop can be attributed mainly to the decline in the amount of foreign workers employed at Dublin Airport and those aged under 24 years of age.
On a positive note there was a slight increase in those choosing to cycle to work in 2009.
