Canadian Survey on Everyday Travel
Improved information on where, why, and how people travel will support targeted, accessible, affordable, and sustainable transportation investments that meet everyone’s needs.
The Canadian Survey on Everyday Travel is a voluntary survey on the daily travel behaviours of people living in Canada. The information collected will be used to understand and address transportation needs.
Why a survey on travel habits?
Currently, there is no national-level data on how Canadians travel day to day.
Your responses will help local, provincial, and federal organizations plan and improve transportation systems and guide future infrastructure investments for all Canadians, including drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and public transit users.
Results will be used to
- provide a more accurate picture of everyday travel, including caregiving and leisure trips
- inform decisions about services and infrastructure investments
- help communities address traffic, transportation barriers and accessibility
- support research and transportation planning.
Make a difference by telling us how you get around
- Travel choices: How you get from place to place?
- Vehicle access: Do you use a car, van or truck?
- Public transit use: What is your experience with buses, trains, and other transit options?
- Active transportation: Do you walk, run or cycle to get around?
Your input helps identify how local roads, highways, public transportation, bike lanes and sidewalks are used today and how they can be improved.
