Frequently asked questions

Who conducted the survey?

The survey was conducted for the Transport Canberra and City Services Directorate and the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council by the Ipsos travel survey team.

What is the purpose of the survey?

The purpose of this survey is to collect essential information on the day-to-day travel and activities of people living in various parts of the ACT and Queanbeyan-Palerang regional areas; how, where, why and when people travel.

The survey results provide a reliable picture of travel patterns occurring in different areas – information that will be used to make planning decisions about roads, public transport and other facilities in and around your local community.

What about privacy?

The Travel Survey team respects the privacy of individuals. All information obtained through the survey is treated in the strictest confidence, and only analysed in combination with many other households.

No data that allows identification of survey participants will be released. Furthermore, no address or contact information from this project will be stored by the travel survey team, unless the respondent explicitly agreed to participate in other transport related research.

How were participants selected?

No individual person was selected for the survey. Instead, a random sample of households has been selected from up-to-date listings of street addresses.
