PTAL is a simple, easily calculated approach that hinges on the distance from any point to the nearest public transport stop, and service frequency at those stops. The result is a grade from 1–6 (including sub-divisions 1a, 1b, 6a and 6b), where a PTAL of 1a indicates extremely poor access to the location by public transport, and a PTAL of 6b indicates excellent access by public transport.

All members of staff. Is cycling to school safe? Are we promoting environmentallyfriendly and sustainable modes of transport to/from school? The Final Report of the London Borough of Southwark Cycle Demand Study states that there are numerous radial routes leading into the north of the Borough which should be prioritised for implementation, and in addition, there are three orbital corridors, one to the north, one centred on Burgess Park and the other on Peckham Road which should be implemented. Taken together, this network of radial and circumferential corridors will provide a network of routes for cycle traffic which will allow for significant future expansion of cycling within the London Borough of Southwark.
