10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. SeDtember 27, 1978 Section Two Great Crowd Attends Oktoberfest Bail at Newcastle PFlan Extensive Survey On' Citizens' Travel Patterns The Planning Department of the Regional Municipality of Durham in co-operation with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications has initiated a region-wide Travel Survey to obtain information on the present travel patterns of Durham residents. ,According to Mr.' Walter Beath, Chairman of the Region of Durham, "This is the first comprehensive region-wide survey of per- sonal travel patterns in Dur- ham. The information oh- tained from the survey will be utilized in planning studies at the provincial, regional and municipal level and will benefit all three levels of government. " Information will be collected from Durham households through telephone interviews and will be used to determine future transporta- tion needs which would guide the development of transport- ation facilities and services in the Region. With the information obtained from this survey, transportation planners will be able to estimate the need for transportation facilities which will be required for new residential, industrial and commercial development withîn the Region. For example, the information from the survey would assist in determining road access requirements to new industrial areas in the Region, analyzing the transportation requirements for, downtown and shopping areas and planning of GO Transît services. The survey procedure will be to interview members of selected households within the Region to determine when, where, and how often people travel. These households will be notified by mail approximately one week before a representative of the Travel Survey staff contacts them by telephone. Persons residing in the sample household will be asked for information about trips made on an average weekday. Information gathered in this survey will be treated confidentially and will be used only in statistical summaries for planning purposes. The co-operatioi of those persons who will be called on during the survey is necessary to assist in the planning of better transportation facilities. As Mr. Beath stated: "The survey will be an excellent step forward in "4regional planning" 'in its broadest sense. By taking the short time needed to answer the questions asked, the persons interviewed will be benefiting themselves and al other residents of Durham Region." The survey will be conducted in three stages. The area municipalîties of Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Newcastle will be surveyed this Faîl starting in late September. The. City of Oshawa is scheduled to be surveyed in the Spring of 1979 and the three northern townships of Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge will be surveyed in the Faîl of 1979.
