Tracking public attitudes to and awareness of transport technologies in England.
Applies to England
Documents
Details
Research into public awareness of and attitudes to current, emerging and future transport technologies, including:
- car ownership and connectivity
- electric vehicles
- self-driving vehicles
- future of flight
- e-scooters
- e-cycles
- drones
- Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS)
- ride-sharing
- space tourism and flying taxis
Ipsos UK has run wave 7 (June 2021) to wave 11 (December 2023) of this survey on behalf of the Department for Transport (DfT). Waves 7 to 11 data should not be compared back to previous survey waves due to methodological changes.
The wave 11 data tables include a cross break with the 9 transport user segments developed by DfT.
This research is part of the Future of Transport programme, which aims to shape transport innovation and secure the UK’s position as a leader in the transport sector of the future.
