About the National Travel Attitudes Study data and reports

National Travel Survey (NTS) data collection consists of a face-to-face interview and a 7 day self-completed written travel diary, allowing travel patterns to be linked with individual characteristics. The survey covers travel by people in all age groups, including children.

At the completion of the individual interview in the NTS, respondents aged 16 and over are asked if they wish to join the NTAS panel to complete future surveys on their opinions and experiences on important issues. Those who do are added to the panel.

When a new wave of the study is ready, panel members receive a letter and email with details of how to answer the questions. They can complete this survey online or via the telephone.
