(TTS) data an understanding of the contents of the databases maintained at the Data Management Group. Users wishing to obtain information from the databases should contact the Data Management Group or one of the following agencies: Ministry of Transportation, Ontario City of Barrie City of Guelph City of Hamilton City of Kawartha Lakes City of Orillia City of Peterborough City of Toronto County of Peterborough County of Simcoe County County of Wellington GO Transit Regional Municipality of Durham Regional Municipality of Halton Regional Municipality of Niagara Regional Municipality of Peel Regional Municipality of York Toronto Transit Commission Town of Orangeville Users should be aware of the differences in both the content and the areas covered by the survey in each of the four years. This guide is a compilation of information from the original dataguides for the 1986 (Version 3.1), 1991 (Version 4.1), and 1996 (Version 2.1) databases with comparable information for the 2001 survey (Version 1.0). The TTS databases contain the following number of survey records: Exhibit 1: TTS Databases Number of Records 1986 (Version 3.1) 1991 (Version 4.1) 1996 (Version 2.1) 2001 (Version 1.0) Household 61,453 24,507 115,193 136,379 Person 171,086 72,496 312,781 374,182 Non Transit Trips 313,633 142,453 587,676 732,649 Transit Trips 56,615 14,896 70,295 817,744 i 1 Differences Between the 1986, 1991, 1996 and 2001 Data Users of TTS data should be aware of the following differences when making comparisons between the 1986, 1991, 1996 and 2001 Transportation Tomorrow Surveys: Survey Area The 1986 survey covered the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) defined as the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto plus the Regional Municipalities of Durham, York, Peel, Halton and Hamilton. In 1991, the survey area was expanded to cover the municipalities adjacent to the GTA boundary, referred to as the ‘fringe area’. Extending well beyond the boundaries of either of the earlier surveys, the 1996 survey includes all of the GTA plus Peterborough County (partial coverage), City of Peterborough, Victoria County, Town of Orangeville, Simcoe County (partial coverage), City of Barrie, Wellington County (partial coverage), City of Guelph, Waterloo Region and Niagara Region. A small portion of Dufferin County adjacent to the town of Orangeville is also included. Northumberland County is partially represented by interviews conducted during the training of interviewers (week 0). In 2001, changes to the survey area relative to the 1996 TTS were the inclusion of the whole of Simcoe County, the addition of the City of Orillia, and the exclusion of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo and Northumberland County. Minimum Age In 1986 the minimum age of persons for which trip data was collected was 6. In 1991, 1996 and 2001 the minimum age was 11. Trip data for persons aged 6 through 10 should be excluded from the 1986 survey before making comparisons with 1991, 1996 and/or 2001. Bicycle Trips In 1986 information on bicycle trips was only collected for trips to or from school or work. In 1991, 1996 and 2001 information was collected for all bicycle trips. Trip Start Times In 1986, trip start times were not recorded for some school trips made by persons under the age of 14. In 1991, 1996 and 2001 trip start time was recorded for all trips. This difference must be allowed for in making comparisons of trip start time distributions, particularly for walk, cycle, schoolbus and, to a lesser extent, transit trips. Trip Purpose In
