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 New Zealand Household Travel Survey, Ministry of Transport. Sample survey of 4600 households per year (2200 per year prior to July 2008), running throughout the year. Respondents report all travel in specified two-day period. See www.transport.govt.nz/ongoing-travel-survey-index/ for more information.
Note re 2003-7 and 2004-08 In 2009, the NZ Household Travel Survey dataset 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 Number of walking and cycling trip legs per year, by New Zealand residents. For survey purposes, a journey from one place to another may be split into trip legs. A "trip leg" is a unit of non-stop travel by a single mode for a single purpose. For example, walking to work with a stop at the shop is two trip legs. Excludes trips under 100 metres, off-road travel and travel on private property (eg farms, malls).
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
Timeliness Updated in November each year.
Quality of the data Survey based. Household Travel Surveys exclude commercial travel, and tend to somewhat underestimate total personal travel. Response rate (households with full responses from all members): 1989/90=75%; 1997/98=75%; Ongoing survey: 65%-70%.
