It’s incredible to see the impact they’re having after being born out of the 2024 Decult Conference, and we hope it inspires others to take up this work across the country!

Done mine.

I loved the responses from last year. Especially the car driver's ones. Brain dead.

I just filled in the Christchurch City Council annual transport survey. Here's what they said about the 2024 survey - link in AltTxt.
Dumb people driving dumb cars.
https://ccc.govt.nz/the-council/how-the-council-works/reporting-and-monitoring/life-in-christchurch/transport Travel by car Car travel remains the most common way to travel Use of travel by car at least once a month remains high amongst respondents at 96%, although 19% report using it less often now compared to 12 months ago. 24% also report owning or having access to a full electric or hybrid vehicle. Respondents who are between 50 and 64 years of age or have higher incomes are more likely to travel by car more than once a month. Car travel was rated the lowest of the modes for overall journey satisfaction, with only 51% of respondents who travel by car reporting they feel satisfied or very satisfied with journeys made by car. This is consistent with last year, when 50% felt satisfied/very satisfied with their journeys made by car. Commentary about the experience of travelling by car covered a wide variety of topics with different and opposing perspectives, but a significant proportion tended to be a point of concern or complaint: “The roads are becoming increasingly clogged with traffic. There appears to be a huge increase in the number of cars in the last 5-10 years.” “Roadworks seem to be very regular making for detours and slower trips." “I travel a lot for work around the city.”
