Tweed Byron Household Travel Survey

Survey purpose

The Tweed Byron Household Travel Survey (HTS) collects information on personal travel behaviour. The study area for the survey are the Tweed and Byron Bay local government areas (LGA’s).

All residents of occupied private dwellings within these two LGA’s are considered in scope of the survey and are randomly selected to participate.

Data is collected on all trips made over a 24-hour period by all members of the participating households.

All estimates are weighted to the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ Estimated Resident Population, corresponding to the year of collection.

The HTS population figures are based on the Estimated Resident Population (ERP) published by the ABS for the corresponding year. HTS population estimates are also slightly lower than those reported in the ABS census as the survey excludes overseas visitors and those in non-private dwellings.

Unless otherwise stated, all reported estimates are for an average weekday.

Information for survey participants

If you have received a letter from Transport for NSW regarding your household’s selection to participate in the Household Travel Survey, you may find this section useful.

The Household Travel Survey (HTS) collects information on personal travel behaviour within the two local government areas of Tweed and Byron Bay. About 960 households have been randomly selected to participate in this survey.

The purpose of the survey is to obtain information from as many different households as possible to better understand travel patterns of a wide range of people. This information is critical in the planning of an effective and efficient transport system. 

The data we receive from households such as yours across the two LGA’s helps us understand how, when why and where people travel. 

We need to hear from you, whether you make a lot of trips or only a few.
