Wales National Travel Survey: Topic prioritisation
Wales National Travel Survey: Topic prioritisation
Following the launch of the Wales National Travel Survey on 10 March 2025, we consulted stakeholders to better understand in which topics they are interested. Stakeholders were able to select up to three topics from a list of 12 items.
This information will be used to prioritise which analysis we will undertake and publish first.
We received 48 responses. The results are detailed in Table 1.
