All Change? Changes in Travel Behaviour During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Waves 1-6, 2020-2021

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><br><p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"><span>Ipsos UK conducted a series of six waves of UK-wide online surveys through the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic on behalf of the Department for Transport as part of the&nbsp;<i>All Change? </i>research programme. The research programme was designed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to measure and explore the reasons for current and intended changes in travel behaviour amongst the British public.</span></p><p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"><span>Fieldwork for the first wave took place in May/June 2020 while the sixth and final wave took place in November 2021. All survey interviews were conducted online with</span><span>adults aged 16-75 years old across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The data are longitudinal; however, they include additional fresh samples at each wave. The data are provided here in a single dataset file covering all six waves.</span></p><p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"><span>Respondents at waves 2-6 were drawn from those that had taken part in previous waves and agreed to be recontacted. While wave 2 involved 'top-up' sampling to boost the overall sample to approximately 4,000, this was not the case at wave 3 when the sample was drawn exclusively from the longitudinal cohort and contained no 'fresh' samples. At wave 4, a targeted 'top-up' exercise was undertaken to bolster the numbers among a selection of groups and geographies available for recontact at wave 5 (this reached 564 respondents). Waves 5 and 6 also involved a full 'top-up' exercise to secure samples of over 4,000.</span></p><p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"></p><p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"><span>At each wave, the survey questionnaire was translated into the Welsh language with respondents in Wales given the choice of whether to complete the survey in Welsh or in English.</span></p><p class="x_x_x_MsoNormal"><span>Further information and reports are available on the </span><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-travel-behaviour-during-the-lockdown">GOV.UK</a><span> web site.<br></span></p><br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><br><p><span>The <span style="font-style: italic;">All Change </span>survey included the following main topics, although not all topics were covered in all waves:</span></p><ul><li><span>transport behaviour (including mode and frequency of travel as well as journey purposes)</span></li><li><span>expectations of future journeys</span></li><li><span>reasons for changing travel behaviour</span></li><li><span>travel perceptions (including level of comfort when travelling, safety, COVID precautions)</span></li><li><span>travel to work and for shopping<br></span></li><li><span>sustainable travel<br></span></li><li><span>vaccination<br></span></li></ul>
