The cost of staying connected | Transport for the North

Obtaining an insight into the impacts the increased cost-of-living has had on Northern people is key in our mission to help our local authority partners and stakeholders enhance our transport networks. We know from our previous research that around 21% of the people in North live in high-risk areas of transport-related social exclusion (TRSE), and elsewhere in England it’s 16%, indicating TRSE is a major issue for us in the North. Enhancing our TRSE evidence base is therefore a priority, and this paper is the outcome of a qualitative investigation into those who are most vulnerable from cost-of-living pressures and TRSE.
