Stansted has the highest public transport mode share of any major UK airport and one of the highest public transport mode shares of any major international airport in Europe.

However, we recognise that emissions from road vehicles travelling to and from Stansted have an impact both on local air quality and on UK emissions generally. Road congestion can also be a concern for local residents.

When the airport gained permission to grow to 25 million passengers a year, we agreed a target of 37% of journeys by non-transferring air passengers being made by public transport by 2010 with a longer term goal of 40%.

Our approach
Our aim is to encourage the use of public transport by train, bus and coach, and at the same time minimise Stansted’s impact on the road network and to promote and develop public transport choice.
