This is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA that the SAAS does not have the information you have requested.

SAAS sent a survey to staff to test the Groupcall system in January 2019 asking staff “How do you travel to work?”. Out of 258 staff members, 185 replied to the survey. Of those who replied, 62% stated that they travel by car which equates to 45% of SAAS’ total workforce.
