Project Description

TUTI (in association with I-view Pty Ltd) has recently been appointed by Transit New Zealand to design and conduct the Christchurch Area Travel Survey in 2006. The survey will cover the greater Christchurch area, from Rangiora in the north to the Selwyn River in the south. The survey will be conducted in October-November 2006, and will obtain responses from 2000 complete households.

The format of the survey will be very similar to that adopted for recent travel surveys conducted by TUTI and I-view in Auckland and in Queensland and Victoria, Australia, and will be based on the use of a self-completion activity/travel diary for 1 day, supported by personal delivery and pickup of the questionnaires. The CHATS survey will use the Speedit program (Survey Program for Entering and Editing Data Involving Travel), which was recently used in the Auckland Household Travel Survey conducted earlier in 2006.

Further details about the survey can be found on the FAQ page for the survey on this website.
