The recent Greater Dublin Area (GDA) travel survey was carried out by Millward Brown IMS on behalf of the Dublin Transportation Office (DTO). The survey field work was undertaken between the months of March and July of this year and some 2,500 households in the counties of Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow participated. The survey procedure involved a face-to-face interview with a selected household member and the completion of a seven day Travel Diary by members of the household aged 11+ years.

The survey highlights more than ever the need to upgrade public transport in the Greater Dublin Area to reduce dependence on the private car, which is one of the aims of the TRANSPORT 21 Investment Programme.
