Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The National Travel Attitudes Study (NTAS) is an online and telephone survey that provides information on public attitudes to travel and transport. The NTAS covers responses from individuals aged 16 and over in England, drawn from people who have previously responded to the National Travel Survey (NTS). Responses are weighted to take account of the mode of delivery and to reflect the population. The NTAS is published by the Department for Transport, United Kingdom. Further information including published reports and tables are available on the GOV.UK Public Attitudes Towards Transport webpages.

National Travel Attitudes Study, Wave 1, 2019 was open to individuals who had completed the NTS between January 2018 and June 2018. 3,137 NTS respondents were invited to take part in Wave 1 of the NTAS after giving their consent to be contacted for further research, which equates to 69 percent of all eligible NTS adults. Of those that were contacted, 1,384 completed the survey which lead to a final survey response rate of 44 percent. Fieldwork for Wave 1 of the NTAS ran from 31 January 2019 till 3 March 2019. Around three-quarters (73 percent) of interviews were completed online. The remaining 23 percent were conducted via telephone interviews.
