The 2013 National Travel Survey (NTS) is the latest in an established series of household surveys of personal travel. The survey is primarily designed to track long-term development of trends in travel, although short-term changes can also be detected. This release presents information on personal travel by residents of England travelling within Great Britain during 2013. Previous publications also covered residents of Scotland and Wales. However following the public consultation conducted in 2011 residents of Scotland and Wales are no longer part of the NTS sample. NTS data is collected via two main sources - interviews with people in their homes, and a one week travel diary. The NTS covers travel by all age groups, including children. In 2013, diary data was collected from 6,830 households, covering over 16,000 individuals. (Author/publisher)
