Short description:
As such, the Authority is also aiming to glean โ€œlongitudinalโ€ travel-related statistics, i.e., observed changes in travel patterns, if any, over this 10 year period, included those related to Covid-19 effects, expansion of broadband internet connectivity and communications, etc. For ease of comparison backwards to the 2017 survey, the Authority is especially keen to maintain consistency in the methodology and sample sizes in NHTS 2022, namely clustered, stratified probability sampling units (PSUs) carefully designed to maximise, within budget, the representativeness of the national survey.
