Travel Survey for Northern Ireland

Background

The TSNI started in 1999 and is based on the National Travel Survey run by the Department for Transport. Three years of data need to be combined to ensure the analysis carried out is robust.  

UPDATE: The delay in receiving the TSNI 2017-2019 datasets and investigating the methodology changes in 2020 due to COVID-19 continues to have a knock on effect on the usual publication timetable of the TSNI reports.  The 2020 Headline Report was published in March 2022.  The 2020 In-depth Report is planned for publication in Summer 2022.  Further updates will be announced here.
