1
Changes to the collection of short walk data in the NTS Glenn Goodman, DfT
2
A walk less than one mile but greater than 50 yards in distance. What is a short walk?
3
Timeline Develop weighting Short walks experiment Further experiment Public consultation Consultation response Cognitive testing Decision on method October 2015
4
Background: Household survey of personal travel First survey in 1965. Continuous since 1988 2013: n = 7k households, 16k people (63% resp. rate) Complex design – stratified two-stage random sample
5
Data collection
6
Travel week allocation Day 1 = Monday? Day 7 = Sunday? Respondents allocated start day – uniform spread across week and month
7
Data collection
8
The importance of the data Walking & cycling policy Transport forecasts and models
9
The decline of walking 234 trips 133 trips 58 trips 70 trips
10
Research outline Data are weighted to account for under- reporting – short walks only collected on day 7
11
Weighting for under-reporting
12
Research question Data are weighted to account for under- reporting – short walks only collected on day 7 Aims: To assess whether under-reporting of short walk trips exists If so, correct this under-reporting
13
Timeline Short walks experiment April – June 2013
14
Experiment outline Aim: To assess day 1 vs. day 7 Sample size: 1,000 Designed to detect a 5% point change £££
15
2013 short walks experiment
16
Under-reporting: adults
17
Under-reporting: children 11% 1.5%
18
Under-reporting: type of walk A B Short walk only trip AB Multi stage trip
19
Under-reporting: type of walk 1.1%
20
Timeline Short walks experiment April – June 2013 Public consultation July – Sept 2014
21
Consultation options 1 2 Day 7 Another experiment Produce weight 53 4 Day 1 Produce weight Break in series
22
Timeline Public consultation July – Sept 2014 Consultation response December 2014
23
Consultation response “…I would want to be very sure before making irreversible modifications to NTS protocols…the NTS has weaknesses and biases that are essentially stationary…turbulent biases are much worse…” 34 Day 1
24
Timeline Consultation response December 2014 Develop weighting Ongoing
25
The approach to weighting Short walk only trips by adults Logistic regression to calculate likelihoods Determine explanatory variables Produce weights
26
Developing back-series weight Age Economic status Car access
27
Example – car access 16% 7%
28
Developing back-series weight Age Economic status Car access Gender – not significant
29
Example – gender
30
Developing back-series weight Age Economic status Car access Gender Household region Settlement type (urban/rural) Mobility Income – not significant – excluded
31
Developing back-series weight Age + economic status 0-16 Full time Part-time Retired Other non-work Car access Main driver Other driver Non-driver No access
32
Logistic regression: Day 7
33
Logistic regression: Day 1
34
Relative likelihoods
35
Day 7 weighted Applying the weights Day 7 unweighted Day 1
36
Applying the weights
37
Historic likelihoods Age 0-16 Adult, full-time Adult, part-time Adult, other non-work Retired
38
Further work Cognitive interviews Comparisons with other studies London Travel Demand Survey Scottish Household Survey Further experiment
39
Timeline Develop weighting Short walks experiment Further experiment Public consultation Consultation response Cognitive testing Decision on method October 2015
40
Conclusion Experience of formal consultation process Highlights the value of ONS Methodology Advisory Service Lessons for other household surveys Better data on walking for the future!
