Summary by TRANS District

Key demographic and travel characteristics are provided below for each of the 26 TRANS Districts.

Each pair of pages presents:

  • A map of the district
  • Demographic characteristics for the district
  • Occupational status of the district’s residents
  • Characteristics of the district’s t travelers comprising the number of transit pass holders, licensed drivers and telecommuters
  • Selected travel indicators, including overall trip rates
  • Breakdowns of household size (number of occupants), households by vehicle availability and households by dwelling type
  • Breakdown of the district’s population and employed labour force by gender and age cohort
  • A map showing the five greatest origins or five greatest destinations from/to the district during the AM peak period (0630 to 0859), as well a table of the magnitude of the full 26 origins or destinations. Either origins only or destinations only are shown, depending on whether the district’s total origins or the total destinations were greatest during the AM peak period. For clarity, trips originating from the district are shown in red, and trips destined to the district are shown in green
  • Breakdown of trips by purpose, for the 24 hours, AM peak period and PM peak period
  • Breakdown of trips by mode of travel, for the 24 hours, AM peak period and PM peak period

Please note that all trip rates and trip numbers presented in this section are exclusive of external trips (trips originating in the survey area with a destination outside the area).

All trip rates and trip numbers differ somewhat from those in the original consultants’ report, based on additional analysis. All numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10. As a result, there might be some minor differences between the control totals and totals calculated for each category.
