Ipsos UK has run wave 7 (June 2021) to wave 11 (December 2023) of this survey on behalf of the Department for Transport (DfT). Waves 7 to 11 data should not be compared back to previous survey waves due to methodological changes.
The wave 11 data tables include a cross break with the 9 transport user segments developed by DfT.
This research is part of the Future of Transport programme, which aims to shape transport innovation and secure the UK’s position as a leader in the transport sector of the future.
