Scotland's Census
This website provides information about the Census conducted in 2022. Results from the 2011 Census can also be found here. The Census has one question on which mode of travel people normally use to get to work or study.
Sustrans has been co-ordinating a national survey of the transport modes children use in travelling to and from school on an annual basis since 2008 (Hands Up Scotland Survey). The survey provides data that allow comparisons of school travel to be made within and across local authority boundaries.
