This survey is now closed. Thanks to everyone who participated in this important survey.
The National Travel Survey (NTS) is a voluntary nationwide survey of individuals carried out by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) under Section 24 of the Statistics Act, 1993.
The survey focusses primarily on the travel behaviour of individuals and on their use of sustainable modes of travel such as public transport and active travel (cycling, walking) and the facilitators and inhibitors to their use of these modes of travel, and alternative modes of travel to using a car. The survey also gathers information on the travel activities of individuals over a 24-hour period, including the number of journeys taken, the distance travelled, and purpose of journey, e.g. business, social, leisure, or other.
It also looks at road safety and factors that influence the purchase of vehicles.
The facts we get directly from you through the NTS give us a clear picture of people’s day-to-day travel activities, showing the situation at national and regional level. The statistics we produce are used by individuals, enterprises, local authorities and national government to inform decisions— creating policies that help provide public services where and when they’re needed most.
We depend on your information, so if you are asked to take part, please do so because your voice matters.
