Travel surveys are an important tool for transportation planners as they provide rich and up-to-date data that showcase citizens’ travel patterns and allows city planners to make evidence-based decisions on transportation services and projects. The City of Edmonton conducts a one-day Household Travel Survey once every 10 years with the most recent one occurring in 2015.
Understanding how people and goods move throughout the Edmonton Region allows us to make evidence-based decisions on our policies, initiatives and investments. The City collects data through a variety of surveys including commodity surveys, central business district surveys and household travel surveys.
