Working day mobility survey (EMEF) of the ATM of the Barcelona area
The Working Day Mobility Survey (EMEF) is an annual statistic published by the Metropolitan Transport Authority (ATM), Barcelona City Council, the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) and the Association of Municipalities for Mobility and Urban Transport (AMTU). The survey has been carried out by the Institut Metròpoli (before IERMB) since 2003.
The EMEF has the objective to identify the basic characteristics of mobility on working days (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays) of the population aged 16 and over, resident in the Barcelona Integrated Tariff System.
Mobility surveys are a statistical instrument that allows us to obtain information about how and why the population moves, and at the same time they represent trend analysis tools for mobility planning. Based on the data they provide, mobility patterns can be analysed according to the characteristics of the population and the different territories.
