Greater Hobart Household Travel Survey

A detailed picture of Greater Hobart household travel is collected through this survey to help the government make better transport and land-use planning decisions.

The survey is conducted over an eight-week period across greater Hobart. This allows average daily travel behaviour to be understood.

Randomly selected households are asked to collect their travel data for a single specified day. Collecting all personal travel information - from walking the dog through to interstate travel - enhances our understanding of complex travel interactions.

The survey last ran in 2023, and we are currently analysing the data collected. We expect the results to be available later this year (2024).

This will capture an up-to-date picture of travel behaviour to help us better plan for Hobart's transport future.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2023 survey

Effective transport planning is a critical part of managing our cities and towns. Your completed survey, and other surveys from households in your area, will help us understand how, when and where people travel.

Survey participants can be assured:

• all information collected is confidential
• survey results are grouped together to give an overview of travel across a region
• personal information is deleted before data is used for transport planning
• your name, address and contact information is not kept unless you agree to take part in other transport-related research projects.
