Abstract

Public transport policy influences patterns of travel and the number of casualties in road accidents and their distribution among different kinds of road users. Exceptional changes in the policy such as the `Fares Fair' in the early 1980's led to attempts to estimate their effect on the numbers of road casualties in London. The effects of fare changes upon numbers of casualties were estimated by correlating changes in occurrence of casualties with changes in fares and estimating local casualty rates per unit person-distance travelled by each relevant means of transport, together with the changes in amounts of travel resulting from the fare changes, and applying the rates to the changes in travel.
