The Canadian Survey on Everyday Travel is Underway

Check your mailbox (and your inbox) – the Canadian Survey on Everyday Travel (CSET) is now underway. If you are selected, please participate!

The survey is collected by Statistics Canada. CSET is a new survey that gathers insights on the daily travel habits of Canadians. A better understanding of travel habits and needs, as well as the barriers encountered, will help to inform transportation planning and infrastructure investments in communities across the country.

Here at Link Nova Scotia, this data is a vital input to our travel demand model. Co-owned with HRM, the model allows us to test different transportation projects and their impact on the regional system without investment or construction, road closures, and detours. 

Having a strong representative sample of data on who is travelling where, when, and how they are getting there ensures that the model can continue to provide accurate, evidence-based information as we continue our work to improve the transportation system.
