Financed by South Yorkshire County Council and conducted by the Transport Studies Unit at the University of Oxford, the three main objectives of the first study are to extend survey data to the whole County, to assess the social and travel changes brought about by South Yorkshire's transport policy and to analyse marketing opportunities. Though some reference is made to West Yorkshire and to national trends, the study remit is essentially confined to South Yorkshire. The second study, commissioned by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory and being conducted by the University of Sheffield, is concerned with direct comparisons between Sheffield/Rotherham and Greater Manchester and will be published separately. The present study involved three members of the Oxford Transport Studies Unit supported by four others seconded from South Yorkshire. The principal sources used were the 1972 and 1981 travel surveys for inner Sheffield and Rotherham supplemented by surveys
