HRM release:
The Halifax Regional Municipality is asking residents to provide feedback on how they travel throughout the region in the latest Traveller Opinion Survey.
Open from July 22 to Aug. 12, 2024, the survey is used to measure residents’ perception of our existing transportation network (walking/ rolling, bicycling, transit and driving). It helps the municipality learn more about how and why residents travel, as well as understand what motivates people to use sustainable transportation modes.
This year’s survey will help set the future framework for sustainable transportation in the Halifax region as the most recent survey was completed in 2019 and the way many people travel each day has changed significantly since the pandemic.
The Traveller Opinion Survey stems from the municipality’s Integrated Mobility Plan (IMP). Endorsed by Regional Council in 2017, the IMP creates a vision for moving people and goods around the Halifax region and seeks to improve the links between residents and their communities.
The 2024 survey will help record and track public perception and awareness of available sustainable transportation options. The results will be compared to the 2019 survey to measure progress.
