Table explanation


This table contains information regarding the mobility of the residents of the Netherlands aged 6 or older in private households, so excluding residents of institutions and homes. The table contains the total number of passenger kilometres travelled on Dutch territory including kilometres travelled during series of calls trips and domestic holiday mobility. The distance travelled is based on stage information.

A methodological break has been identified in the 2024 ODiN file.
During the analysis of the data from the "Onderweg in Nederland 2024" (ODiN) survey a methodological break was identified. Several changes were made to the survey in 2024, which likely had an unexpected effect on the 2024 ODiN figures. This means that the 2024 results are not readily comparable with those from previous years. For this reason, the 2024 figures are not being updated in the StatLine tables. More information about the methodological break is available in the ODiN 2024 Plausibility Report (see Chapter 4: "Onderwegen in Nederland" (ODiN) 2024 - Plausibility Report).
Due to a revision of the ODiN files, the figures by motive for 2018 have been changed as of February 10, 2022, but the total number of motives in 2018 has remained the same. In 2019, the revision sometimes resulted in minor changes in travel time.

Data available from: 2018

Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are final.

Changes as of 4 July 2024:
The figures for year 2023 are added.

When will new figures be published?
More information will follow in 2026.

Description topics

Transport performance
The total transport performance concerns the total number of passenger kilometres: the total distance travelled by residents of the Netherlands aged 6 years or older in private households, so excluding residents of institutions and homes. The transport performance is the sum of the total regular passenger-kilometres and the passenger-kilometres of series of calls trips. The transport performance does not include the kilometres of (professional) road transport with a heavy goods vehicle and kilometres travelled by aircraft.
