This continuing quarterly survey of travel by Canadians undertaken by Statistics Canada under joint sponsorship by Transport Canada and the Canadian Government Office of Tourism (CGOT), was aimed at increasing Transport Canada's understanding of passenger travel characteristics and associated modal choice for all modes of transportation, as well as CGOT's knowledge of traveller and tourist behavior. Detailed information was collected on all trips taken during the quarter by one respondent in each of the selected Canadian households. A trip was defined as a journey of 50 miles or more away from home, originating in one of the ten provinces, and ending between Jan. 1st and March 31st (inclusive), 1980. This person-trips file (PTRIP) contains one record for each trip reported in the sample and it also contains the demographic information of the person reporting the trip. The file can be used to generate cross-tabulations of trips and person-trips by using trip and person-trip weights respectively.
