ACT Household Travel Survey: Walking and Cycling Trip Data (2022)

Survey data from several thousand households in the ACT and Queanbeyan estimates weekday active travel patterns. The spreadsheet replicates selected tables from a dashboard, showing trip counts and percentages by mode and socio-demographic groups. TCCS Data Capability published this subset of the ACT Household Travel Survey in 2022.

Use Cases

• Analyze gender disparities in cycling trips based on the description that two-thirds of cycling trips are made by males.
• Examine active travel mode share across different socio-demographic cohorts as suggested by the provided summary tables.
• Study trip distribution across time periods (AM peak, PM peak, Interpeak, Off-peak) based on the described trip time assignment method.
• Compare walking versus cycling trip proportions for specific population groups, as the data includes summaries holding each cohort constant.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a large survey of several thousand households across the ACT and Queanbeyan.
• Provides two summary perspectives: mode share per analysis group and distribution of each mode across groups.
• Trip time periods are clearly defined using the midpoint of travel (e.g., AM peak 8am-9am).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description notes the data is a survey estimate subject to variability and may not reflect the entire population's movement.
