This is from a report (following a transportation conference) by Chapleau and Morency (from the Civil Engineering Department (Transportation) at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal): "Generic in nature but specific to the methodological procedures undertaken in the Greater Montreal Area (GMA), the CATI (Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview) household survey is conducted about every five years over a 5% sample. Typically, it represents about 160,000 people belonging to 65,000 households declaring some 400,000 individual trip records for an average weekday. Individual trips are geo-referenced for the residence, trip origin and destination, modal junction points (kiss-and-ride and park-and-ride locations), and are described for their household and personal characteristics (age, gender, car license, car ownership, income) in addition to the trip attributes (purpose, mode, departure time, train-subway-bus routes taken if traveling by transit, bridges and highway taken if traveling by car)."
They have a lot of GIS analysis done on transportation ranging from buses, cars to subway trains. A nice map they made was the percentage of motorized trips in Montreal am rush hour:
We could contact them for the data if we find it is useful!
