Dataset is not available.


This table contains information regarding the mobility of the residents of the Netherlands aged 6 or older in private households, i.e. excluding institutional residents. The mobility behaviour is expressed in the average number of stages per person per day and the average distance travelled per stage. The table contains only stages on Dutch territory, excluding mobility based on series of calls trips and domestic holiday mobility.

The mobility behaviour in stages and the average distance per stage are broken down by travel purpose, mode of travel, sex and age.

Margins of the values (trend estimates) are available in the form of the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval.

Over the years, the research design of the successive mobility surveys has undergone various changes. With time series modeling, these have been corrected as far as possible. The figures of the resulting trend series have therefore been made sequentially comparable between the years. The figures have been calculated with data from four successive Dutch national travel surveys: the Onderzoek Verplaatsingsgedrag (OVG) - for the trend series, the years 1999 to 2003 were used; from the Mobiliteitsonderzoek Nederland (MON)- the years 2004 to 2009 were used, next, from the Onderzoek Verplaatsingen in Nederland (OViN), the years 2010 to 2017 were used; and from the newest mobility survey, which started in 2018 and is still ongoing, Onderweg in Nederland(ODiN) the years 2018 to 2022 were added to the mobility trend.

Data available from: 1999 to 2022 inclusive.

Status of the figures:

The figures in this table are provisional.

Changes as of 14 November 2023:
All provisional figures from 1999 to 2021 have been re-estimated. Figures for 2022 have been added.

When will new figures be published?
The trend series is supplemented and recalculated once every 1 to 2 years.

Description topics

Distance travelled per stage (average)
A trip consists of one or more stages taking place with a single means of transport. A new stage is defined when there is a change in the form of transport or when there is a change of vehicle. For example, in the case of a trip from home to work taking place successively by bicycle to the station, by train and then on foot to the office consists of three stages. A stage is also known as a trip leg.

The average number of passenger kilometres travelled per stage per travel mode. In those cases where several travel modes have been used for a trip this does not include the entire distance of the trip, but only the (stage) distance with the travel mode in question. For example, when travelling from the shop to work by walking, bus and walking, for the calculation of the average distance per stage with regard to the means of transport 'walking', only the (distances of the) two walking stages are taken into account. Stage distances with an aircraft are not included in the study.
