Core indicator information
Nature of data Quantitative, survey-based.
Data source 1989/90 data from New Zealand Household Travel Survey 1989/90, Ministry of Transport (N=8700 fully responding people).
1997/98 data from New Zealand Household Travel Survey 1997/98, Land Transport Safety Authority (N=14250 fully responding people).
From 2003, Ongoing Household Travel Survey, Ministry of Transport. Sample survey of 2200 households per year, running throughout the year. Respondents reported all travel in specified two-day period.
See www.transport.govt.nz/ongoing-travel-survey-index/ for more information.
Populations: Statistics NZ usually resident population counts and estimates (ages 5 and over) for the relevant periods (www.stats.govt.nz).
Note re 2003-7 and 2004-08 In 2009, the Ongoing Household Travel Survey datasets was revised to ensure professional driver trips were excluded where possible. This has resulted in revision to the 2003-07 and 2004-08 figures above.
Definition On-road distance cycled per person per year, by New Zealand residents aged 5 and over.
Frequency 1989/90 ; 1997/98. From 2003, updated annually with four year moving average. Periods run from July to June so 2003-2007 means July 2003 - June 2007.
Disaggregation Currently too few cyclists in sample to permit regional breakdown.
Timeliness Nov each year
Quality of the data Survey based. Household Travel Surveys exclude commercial travel, and tend to somewhat underestimate total personal travel. Confidence intervals will be published in late 2009. Response rate (households with full responses from all members): 1989/90=75%; 1997/98=75%; Ongoing survey: 65%-70%.
