The spatial distribution of green mode usage for trips to work, school, college or childcare reflects the urban density, land uses and transport infrastructure within the city. It is also reflective of the city’s topography, with increased usage along the flatter east-west corridors. Highest usage rates (42%- 62%) occur centrally and around key employment locations such as UCC, MTU, CUH, Blackpool and along Model Farm Road. Lower rates of usage are found in Glanmire, Blarney, Frankfield, Grange, Maryborough and Rochestown (3%-10%). The City Hinterland Settlements and wider City Hinterland also have low levels of green mode usage.
The graphic below reflects the percentage of private modal share across the city.

The spatial distribution of private transport usage for trips to work, school, college or childcare also reflects the urban density, land uses, transport infrastructure and the topography of the city. The highest usage rates (70%-81%) generally occur in Glanmire, Blarney, Tower, Kerry Pike and Mount Oval/Garryduff. High rates also occur in more peripheral areas, including the City Hinterland Settlements and the wider hinterland.
