Abstract

The Cardiff Travel Survey is a longitudinal survey that aims to (a) establish current and previous (before the coronavirus outbreak) travel habits; (b) explore how travel-related attitudes, social norms and perceptions change over time; and (c) examine the interplay between individual (perceptual) and environmental (infrastructural) factors in travel mode choice, in particular in relation to the uptake of active travel such as walking and cycling in the City of Cardiff, Wales. The Cardiff Travel Survey 2023 (Wave 3) is an opportunity sample that was collected in 2023 (n=1,886) by the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST), and is the third of a longitudinal series of surveys to be held annually for the duration of the centre. Data for the Cardiff Travel Survey 2023 were collected between 11 May 2023 and 19 July 2023. Participants of the Cardiff Travel Survey 2022 who consented (n=739) were recontacted via email to invite them to take part in the 2023 survey. Furthermore, participants were recruited through posts on social media, such as Facebook® and Twitter®. Invitations were posted on CAST and investigator accounts. The posts on Facebook were promoted to make them more visible in the area. The survey was hosted on the Qualtrics online survey platform and available in both English and Welsh. Inclusion criteria were that participants had to be at least 18 years of age and live in or travel regularly to Cardiff. The English version of the survey was completed by 2,033 respondents and the Welsh version by 56 respondents. Incomplete responses (n=152), defined as those without any answers beyond socio-demographic, were removed from the dataset. A further 51 respondents did not complete the first section on current travel behaviours and were also removed. This left a final sample of n=1,886 adults. Participants were asked to create a unique code that can be used match this survey to the previous and next surveys without knowing their identity....
