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, New Zealand Household Travel Survey. Sample survey of 4600 households per year, (2200 prior to July 2008) running throughout the year. Respondents report all travel in specified two-day period. Full responses were received from 70% of eligible households. See www.transport.govt.nz/ongoing-travel-survey-index/ for more information.
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 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 On-road distance cycled per person per year, by New Zealand residents aged 5 and over. Excludes off-road cycling (eg mountain biking).
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. Regional estimates are shown where available.
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%.
