National Travel Survey

The purpose of the Finnish National Travel Survey is to collect basic data on mobility in Finland. It provides an overview of mobility in Finland and information on demographic, regional and temporal variations in passenger trips. The data is used to enhance mobility opportunities, to improve road safety and to reduce the harmful environmental impacts arising from traffic. The results of the survey provide traffic planners with information on different travel modes and the factors influencing mobility.

The Finnish National Travel Survey has been carried out approximately every six years since 1974. The last survey data was collected in 2021. Data collection continues in the autumn of 2023.
