Canadian Survey on Everyday Travel 2026

Getting started

Why are we conducting this survey?

Statistics Canada is conducting the Canadian Survey on Everyday Travel (CSET), in collaboration with Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada (HICC), to gather insights on the daily travel habits of Canadians. A better understanding of your travel habits and needs, as well as barriers you may have encountered, will help to inform transportation planning and infrastructure investments in your community.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Although voluntary, your participation is important so that the information collected is as accurate and complete as possible.

Other important information
