This is the second report on personal travel using the National Travel Survey (NTS) in the new "Focus" series from the DTLR. The 1998-2000 NTS consists of data from the latest three years of the continuous survey that began in July 1988. During the period January 1998 to December 2000, individuals in 9,390 households completed a seven day travel diary covering all travel over 50m in distance. Details included purpose, method of travel, time of day and length of journey. They also provided personal information such as age, sex, working status, car access and driving licence holding. However, journeys made by foot of less than a mile, were recorded on the seventh day only, and are grossed up for the full seven day period in the NTS. Following section 1, the introduction, sections of this publication are titled: (2) travel trends; (3) how people travel; (4) why do people travel? (5) the social background to variations in travel; (6) travel variations by area type and region; (7) when people travel; (8) family expenditure on motoring and travel; (9) attitudes to transport issues.
