A4.2 Base values for travel time

Base values for travel time

For vehicle occupants, separate values are given for travel during the course of paid employment (work travel), commuting to and from work, and for other non-work travel purposes. Table A4.1 gives values of time for vehicle drivers and vehicle passengers, for seated and standing bus passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. This table also gives the maximum values for congestion (denoted as CRV), which may be added to these values of time for transport users, as described in appendix A4.4. Table A4.2 gives values of travel time for vehicles and freight.
