Smart Journeys – call for comments
Smart Journeys, a project co-led by Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC), is conducting the 2024 Big Commuter Survey from Monday 14 October to Sunday 27 October. Anyone completing the survey can be entered into a prize draw.
The Big Commuter Survey aims to help Smart Journeys and CCC better understand how residents and employees across Cambridgeshire currently commute and their future travel needs. The data collected will guide improvements to the transport network, ensuring that we focus on the most effective areas for both residents and businesses. It will also provide valuable insights to support sustainable travel initiatives and influence future public transport decisions across the county.
Their goal is to make Cambridgeshire a greener, more sustainable place to live by offering safer, healthier travel options. Commuting habits have shifted in recent years, and they want to learn more about how people are now getting to and from work. This will help them plan for enhancements, such as additional walking and cycling routes.
They want to ensure every resident has a chance to contribute.

Those who provide their email will also be entered into a prize draw!
