The Walking and Cycling Index Residents' Survey 2027

The Walk Wheel Cycle Trust intends to commission a comprehensive residents’ travel behavior, satisfaction, and attitude survey for 2027. The study will cover up to sixteen areas across the United Kingdom and will focus on walking, wheeling, cycling, and public transport. A representative sample of local residents will be asked about the way they travel, how satisfied they are with the available options, and their attitudes toward the broader mobility ecosystem.

To deliver the required outputs, the successful contractor will design a research methodology and questionnaire that is fully compatible with the methodology and tools used in prior surveys. The contractor will then administer the “push‑to‑online” fieldwork, clean and analyze the collected data, and provide the specified results to the Trust for subsequent analysis and modeling. The methodology and questionnaire tools must be compatible with those used in previous iterations.

Walk Wheel Cycle Trust wishes to commission an area-wide residents’ travel behaviour and attitude "push-to-online" survey in up to 16 areas across the UK.
The survey will gather data related to travel behaviour, satisfaction and attitudes about a range of issues related to walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport in their area among a representative sample of residents. The successful contractor will design a research methodology and questionnaire tools compatible with the previous methodology and questionnaire, conduct the survey fieldwork, clean and analyse the data and return specified outputs to Walk Wheel Cycle Trust for further analysis and modelling.
Walk Wheel Cycle Trust intends to commission for one iteration of fieldwork in 2027.
