This one is interesting It is based on an online online survey of 3,732 people aged 16-75 from England in November 2023. This was then weighted to be representative of the population It follows a similar survey in 2022 so you can look at differences between the two. Raw data has also been released

First off - walking is the most common way of getting around. A reminder that pretty much everyone benefits when you make streets work better for pedestrians. Secondly - commuting is pretty far down the list of most common reasons people travelled, well behind shopping and visiting friends.

Mode use
• How people travelled in November 2023 had changed little from November 2022.
• The most common modes for journeys in November 2023 were: walking all the way to a destination (77%), car as a driver (75%), car as a passenger (67%), bus (49%) and train (41%).

Journey purpose
• The most common reasons why respondents travelled in November 2023 were: shopping for food/groceries (77%), visiting friends/relatives (59%), shopping for nongrocery items (46%) and travelling to a place of work (43%).

• Journeys for these four purposes had increased by three to four percentage points when compared to November 2022.
