The National Travel Survey (NTS) has trip data by mode of transport collected via a 7-day travel diary for residents of Great Britain. However, data are not available for specific local areas as the sample is too small at that level of geography to provide reliable results.
Some regional level results are available through combining two survey years of data together. The latest results available are for 2011 and 2012 combined. They cover all domestic journeys by all modes of transport, including car, rail and bus.
Table NTS9903 (at link below) shows the average number of trips per person per year by region of residence.
