UPDATE: A considerable amount of extra work has been required to investigate data collected from 2020 onwards. This, combined with delays in receiving TSNI datasets and extra work required to carry out in-depth data validation have had a knock-on effect on the usual publication timetable. The 2022 and 2023 Report was published in November 2025. The date for the next TSNI Report containing 2024 data will appear in upcoming statistical releases. Further updates will be announced here.
Background
The TSNI started in 1999 and is based on the National Travel Survey run by the Department for Transport. Three years of data are normally combined to ensure the analysis carried out is robust. This ensures a wide range range of analysis can be carried out. Where it is established that there is a large enough achieved sample, it is possible to report limited information for single years.
Three TSNI reports are produced annually. Technical reports (survey methodology and questionnaire) and in-depth reports (detailed results) are available from 1999-2001. Headline reports (key results) have been published since 2007-2009.
User engagement
Analysis, Statistics and Research Branch (ASRB) have carried out various user engagement activities, including a user consultation exercise in relation to the content and format of the TSNI reports. An outcome report of this user consultation and a statement of user needs have been published.
