A new name and a new organization: the Dutch travel survey formerly known as OVG and conducted by CBS is now called MON and conducted by RWS AVV Transport Research Centre. The survey gives a portrayal of the daily mobility of the Dutch Population. The results of MON 2004 were published on April the 1st 2005 and at the moment MON is running in its second year. More than 100 households receive the questionnaire each day in order to achieve at least 50,000 respondents this year just like in 2004. This paper describes the transition from OVG to MON based on three main preconditions that were formulated. The next chapter describes the history of mobility survey in the Netherlands. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 explain the way in which the main preconditions were met. Some conclusions are in chapter 6. An epilogue with some information on MON 2005 closes this paper. (Author/publisher)
