Abstract

Household surveys remain underutilized for understanding transport choices such asexpenditure level and composition, the economic impacts of road accidents, and the economic and distributional impactsof environmental policies such as vehicle restrictions or fuel taxes. This paper reviews more than 30 Living StandardsMeasurement Study surveys conducted after 2010, non-Living Standards Measurement Study surveys, and two World Bankharmonized household survey databases, to compile and categorize an extensive list of transport-related questions.The paper discusses current limitations in using Living Standards Measurement Study household surveys. Most of thetransport-related questions in the Living Standards Measurement Study survey collection are not harmonizedacross years and countries. Consistent and more detailed data on road accidents and the type and use of vehiclesshould be added to help design and evaluate road safety and climate policies. A standard set of guidelines and samplequestions to be integrated into future household surveys is therefore provided.
