Latest National Travel Survey statistics
National Travel Survey (NTS) is a household survey designed to
monitor long-term trends in personal travel and to inform the
development of policy. It is the primary source of data on
personal travel patterns by residents of England within Great
Britain.
The survey collects information on how, why, when and where
people travel as well as factors affecting travel (for example,
car availability and driving licence holding).

interview and a 7 day self-completed written travel diary,
allowing travel patterns to be linked with individual

groups, including children. Approximately 16,000 individuals in
7,000 households in England, participate in the survey each year.
