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 households per year prior to June 08), 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.
Note Caution: In table 4, fewer than 100 full time secondary school students were sampled in the West Coast/Marlborough/Tasman area.
Definition Full-time students (aged 5-17) travel to education from home (without intermediate stops other than change mode), for journeys commencing between 6am and 9.30am.
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 Ages 5-12, 13-17, and regional breakdowns.
Timeliness Updated in October/ 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%.
