Peterborough households are asked to participate in the Transportation Tomorrow Survey this fall regarding the travel habits and preferences of residents in the Greater Golden Horseshoe and surrounding areas.

Randomly-selected households will receive an invitation letter that will provide them with a secure access code and more information about the survey.

Results will help local and regional governments, as well as the province and transit agencies, make transportation planning and investment decisions.

The Transportation Tomorrow Survey is jointly undertaken by 25 funding agencies, including the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO), Metrolinx, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and municipalities across the study area.

Canadian-based research firm R.A. Malatest and Associates Ltd. will conduct the survey on behalf of the participating agencies including the City of Peterborough. The survey has been administered every five years since 1986. 

“The Travel Tomorrow Survey data provides City planners information about existing travel patterns and helps plan for future mobility needs for the City,” said Vinod Soman, City of Peterborough senior transportation project manager. “We encourage residents to participate in the survey.”

Survey questions will focus on trip information for each household member including origin, destination, time, reason for travel, mode of transportation and some basic demographic questions.

Residents that did not make any trips can still participate in the survey, and all survey responses will remain anonymous.

The study runs from the fall of 2022 until spring of 2023 and the results will be released in 2024.

Participation in the survey is voluntary, and households can participate by accessing the project website at TTS2022.ca or by calling the survey hotline at 1-877-216-7786.
