Parks Canada protects and presents nationally significant examples of Canada's natural and cultural heritage on behalf of the people of Canada, and fosters public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment in ways that ensure the ecological and commemorative integrity of these places for present and future generations.
Transportation is an important issue in national parks. It influences how people access points of interest and the overall quality of the visitor experience, but it is also linked to conservation. This exploratory study sought to better understand current transportation choices of domestic visitors to Canadian national parks, the role(s) and benefits personal vehicles serve in their experiences, the perceptions and needs of alternative transportation to be viable choices, and potential trade-offs that might motivate or change choices consumers make when it comes to the future of transportation in national parks.
The study employed a probability-based,online survey administered to a national sample of adult Canadians 18 years of ageand older who had visited at least one Canadian national park in the last decade. The survey, which took approximately 14.6 minutes to complete, was conducted between October 24 and December 5, 2022 using a multi-stage approach and random phone to web recruitment. The sample involves visitors (and not the general population) and was drawn based on home base of visitors (i.e. province). The data was not weighted using demographic variables such as age, gender, education because such information at the granular level was not available for national park visitors and Advanis could not measure the level of precision of the region of residence estimates provided by Parks Canada.
A total of 2,211 Canadians completed the survey, with a response rate of 22.2 percent and a margin of error of +/- 2.1 percent at the national scale (19 times out of 20, at a 95 percent confidence interval). The total cost of the study was $61,873 including taxes.

Parks Canada protects and presents nationally significant examples of Canada's natural and cultural heritage on behalf of the people of Canada, and fosters public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment in ways that ensure the ecological and commemorative integrity of these places for present and future generations.
National parks are managed to protect the natural environment while providing public access for enjoyment and appreciation of the outdoors. Personal vehiclesare the main means to access and get around national parks. Driving is also an integral part of the leisure experience, and scenic highways are an expression of this (e.g., Cabot Trail – Cape Breton Highlands; Gulf Shore Parkway – Prince Edward Island; Red Rock Parkway – Waterton Lakes; Icefields Parkway – Banff/Jasper). Consequently, transportation, park management, and visitor experiences are inherently linked.
As Parks Canada works to address climate change mitigation and sustainability goals in the context of Canada’s transition to a low carbon economy, transportation to and within national parks is a critical area of consideration. Transportation is however, a complex issue due to the location, geography, and offer of individual parks and their integration with broader community and national infrastructure. Park organizations around the world are testing and/or implementing sustainable transportation strategies for accessing national parks and the onsite movement of people. Their experiences to date have found that many factors contribute to influencing consumer choice, acceptance, and shifts in modal behaviour. Transportation choice and options are not an either/or decision.
Transportation is evolving as socio-economic and environmental contexts evolve. It is inevitable transportation choices and options will evolve in the coming years and decades in the context of continued change. To inform the conversation about what transportation might look like for national parks, Parks Canada sought a study to better understand the following:
Most studies to date used to inform this work tended to focus on a single park and either used hypothetical scenarios or sought feedback on an alternative mode of transport being tested or being implemented. This Canadian study was exploratory in nature in that it focuses on a system of national parks with varying individual levels of sustainability. The information gleaned from the current study serves as a baseline and will be used to inform further discussions about the future state and options for transportation in national parks.
Parks Canada sought a sample of Canadians aged 18 years and olderwho had visited at least one national park in the last decade. The study employed a multi-stage sampling process that involved both a random sample of Canadians (general population) and a subset of Advanis’ proprietary, probability-based General Population Representative Sample (GPRS). The latter was used in recent visitor satisfaction studies conducted for Parks Canada.Both approaches are probability based and support margin of error calculations.
The survey was designed by Parks Canada and programmed by Advanis ensuring all required standards for public opinion research in the Government of Canada were met. These requirements included but were not limited to notifications regarding privacy and voluntary participation, options for participation by those with accessibility challenges, adaptability of content based on device (e.g., smartphone, laptop screen), and web accessibility standards for online content. Standards for pre-testing were also adhered to, with a pretest conducted in both English and French. The pretest was conducted between October 24 and 25, 2022. A total of 351 people were recruited by telephone, and 39 pretests were completed online (15 French and 24 English). Results of the pretests were provided to Parks Canada to review. As a result of the survey length (16.7 minutes for the pre-test) Parks Canada removed some context text and several questions. Q13 and Q19 were also converted from ranking questions to multiple choice to reduce time. As a result of the revisions the pre-test survey completes were excluded from the final data.
The target audience for this project was Canadians, across 10 provinces, who were 18 years and older and had visited at least one national park in Canada in the last decade. Visitors were the focus rather than the general population. It was important that participants had visited a national park in the relative recent past for three main reasons. First, previous experience would provide a frame of reference for participants to help address the questions posed to them –for example, they would have a sense of the nature of and distances between points of interests, the different environments in them, and transportation options currently available. Second, those with previous experience would have patterns and/or established expectations about park experiences. Over the longer term, it may be more challenging for these visitors to convert to alternative modes of transportation than people who have never visited nor have any experience with national parks. Finally, the extensive scientific literature on sustainable transportation and park systems focuses on the needs and concerns of actual park users. As it was this literature that informed this Canadian study, the focus was the base of Canadians who currently (within the last 10 years) enjoy national parks in person.
It is acknowledged that a participant may visit one park or multiple parks over 10 years and in any province, regardless of their home residence. The actual park itself was not a selection or weighting mechanism, as residents from a particular province can visit any park in the country. As long as the randomly selected participant visited at least one national park in Canada since 2011, they could be included in the study. Questions filtered out responses from anyone under the age of 18 and anyone who did not live in Canada.
The focus of the sample was residents and national parks in the provinces. Residents of Canada’s three northern territories and participants who indicated that they only had experience with national parks in Canada’s North were excluded from consideration. The overall proportion of annual visitors to any national park in Canada by residents of the territories is small. Less than one percent of total visitation to national parks is made by residents of Yukon Territory, Nunavut, or the Northwest Territories. Northern parks also tend to be more remote (e.g., on Ellesmere Island), and have low visitation (some see less than 20 visitors annually). More importantly, the related transportation options can be different when compared to those in the rest of the country (e.g., limited or no road access, more use of charter flights). As a result, the focus of this study was national parks elsewhere in Canada and residents whose home base was located outside of Canada’s North. Parks Canada provided summary statistics to define the geographic distribution of the sample (Table 1).
This probability-based study was conducted using a multi-stage approach. In the first phase Advanis added questions about national park visitation to its internal research running within the general population. Respondents were randomly called to be invited to participate by telephone or IVR – both landline and mobile phones.A link was sent to the potential respondent’s email address or mobile phone via short message service (SMS). Once the participant completed the online survey, they were asked if they'd be willing to participate to future studies. Their responses to the park visitation questions were analyzed to determine the potential pool for this Parks Canada study.
During phase two, participants identified as having visited a national park recently were randomly recruited to participate in this specific study on national parks and transportation by telephone - both landline and mobile phones. During the computer-assisted telephone recruit interview (CATI), participants were asked for permission to follow up with them regarding an online survey whereby a link was sent to the potential respondent’s email address or mobile phone via short message service (SMS). The email and SMS messages were sent out during appropriate hours within each time zone. Each survey had a unique number embedded in participant hyperlinks to eliminate the possibility of duplicate responses from any one participant. After sending initial invitations, reminder messages were sent three days later to applicants who had not yet completed a survey or were not screened out of the survey. A maximum of three reminder messages was sent. Overall 16,233 invitations and reminders were sent during the data collection period (Table 2).

The focus was not a sample based on visitation volumes or the general population. A random sample based on visitation volume emphasizes one region of the country due to the natural pattern of operations and popularity of destinations. A focus on the general population would yield a large proportion of people who had never visited or visited more than a decade ago. The focus was on people who visited (within the last 10 years), and they can visit any park in the system. Therefore, the sample was based on the starting point for a visitor’s trip – where they reside (their home base, by province). This results in a sample more reflective of Parks Canada’s actual domestic visitor base (with a higher proportion from western Canada and a modified proportion from Central Canada). The data was not weighted by demographics (e.g., age, gender, education) because a comprehensive breakdown of variables at the geographic level needed was not available for national parks and Advanis could not measure the precision of the region of residence estimates provided by Parks Canada.
The study initially intended to collect a random sample of 2,500 domestic visitors to national parks. A smaller sample was accepted in field for several reasons: 1) length of time the survey was in field, 2) reminders permitted under the government’s requirements had been exhausted, and 3) the need to avoid extending data collection into the December holiday period. Overall7,662 Canadians were invited to participate and 2,211 surveys were completed during the data collection period (Table 3). The average survey length was 14.6 minutes (English = 14.5 minutes; French = 15.2 minutes). The response rate was 22.2 percent and the overall margin of error was +/- 2.1 percent, at a 95% confidence interval (Table 3). A total of 1,822 participants were screened out for not having visited a national park in the last 10 years. There was also a screener included to ensure respondents were over 18 years old. No respondents were screened out for being under 18 as Advanis only used sample from its probability-based General Population Representative Sample (GPRS) that was over 18.

Inclusive participation is a requirement of public opinion research conducted by the Government of Canada. Online surveys are programmed to adapt to different devices (e.g., laptops, iPads, smartphones), large tables of scaled questions on a screen are limited (i.e., difficult to navigate on some devices and by screen readers), and the needs of ability devices (e.g., screen readers, use of tab-key functions to navigate screens) are addressed through programming. Alternative survey formats (e.g., interviews) were also available upon request. The accessibility measures Advanis put in place addressed the needs of participants who may have had different needs, as no one requested alternative formats of participation.
All demographic and derived variables used in the analysis and/or weighting were included in the dataset. All open-ended question responses were coded to general themes and aggregated when the theme represented at least one percent of total responses for the question. Original and coded verbatim responses were maintained in the dataset. All questions were crossed with themed categories to provide insight into the results. The themes included the type of location visited, the region of location visited, age, and gender. Final banner tables included unweighted and weighted frequencies and percentages for each variable.
Advanis employs a number of quality control measures to ensure success across the entire life cycle of the project. These measures are detailed below.
Survey Programming: Advanis utilizes technology to maximize quality control in survey programming. Having developed a proprietary survey engine tool, Advanis professionals are able to design and program a survey in a browser-based environment, eliminating the need to involve a programmer who is less familiar with the survey subject matter. Below are the steps followed to ensure the quality of the survey.
CATI Methodology: The CATI recruit script was programmed on Advanis’ proprietary platform with no unforeseen challenges. Advanis was able to leverage its experience for the survey programming and the reminder process to achieve high quality standards. Advanis implemented the following to ensure high quality data collection:
To ensure high interview quality, interviewers are trained to use various interviewing techniques. As well as maintaining a professional attitude, interviewers must be convincing, read word-for-word, take notes, probe deeper on semi-open and open questions, systematically confirm the information given, and listen to the respondent.
Web Methodology: All Advanis online surveys are hosted internally by Advanis, and employ a rigorous and stringent set of data collection control mechanisms to ensure the highest quality for the data collected. These mechanisms include:
Data Handling and Reporting: For the data collected, Advanis develops rules to check the validity of the data. These rules include items such as:
Advanis staff have used the SPSS Statistics Software for over 20 years and are very proficient users of the software. All data cleaning performed on projects are outlined in syntax files with intermediate data files saved throughout the process. This ensures that the original raw data file is never overwritten, and that if an error is discovered in our code, we can quickly and easily rerun the syntax to produce a new data file. Individuals developing code incorporate internal checks in their code (e.g., crosstabs) to ensure the syntax had the desired effect. In addition, all syntax is reviewed by another team member or technical specialist for accuracy.
Surveys are subject to bias or error – sampling and non-sampling error. Sampling error stems from the fact that surveys are conducted with a portion of the population. This means that the results achieved from participants may not be reflective of the entire population. Non-sampling error often stems from differences in response from those who participated and those who did not.
This study focused on visitors to national parks and not the general population. The ten-year period of consideration provided sufficient tenure to capture a range of visitors and a range of experiences – regular, repeat visitors, occasional visitors, and those who had experienced them for the first time. The focus was also not a particular park or region of parks, so the basis for the random sample was not visitation volumes. The focus was on the people who visited, and they can visit any park in the system. This results in a sample more reflective of Parks Canada’s actual domestic market base. Non-visitors and those who had visited more than 10 years ago were excluded from this study. It is possible that they could have different views of the issues presented and explored in this study.
Thousands of Canadian visitors to national parks were invited to participate. It is difficult to assess the presence of non-response bias since information about why those invited chose to not participate is unavailable, nor is it really ever available. One way to gauge the potential impact of non-response bias is to evaluate if the sample is representative by comparing the respondents' characteristics and gauge if they reflect known population characteristics (e.g., geography, demographics). However reliable demographic data was not available for this population to compare to.A rigorous approach also helps to increase response rates and reduce the effects of non-response bias. In addition to measures outlined earlier, other strategies to reduce non-response bias include:

We are interested in your opinions about federally designated national parks and how they are experienced. Some examples of federal national parks you may be familiar with are Banff, Pacific Rim, Grasslands, Cape Breton Highlands, Riding Mountain, Point Pelee, and Mingan.
We want to better understand Canadians’ current transportation choices when travelling to and within Canadian national parks, the role(s) transportation plays in park experiences, and what people need from different modes of transportation in national parks.
Each Canadian national park is unique with respect to access, services, and transportation. This survey explores the issues generally rather than focusing on a specific national park or region of the country. Please think about the national park(s) you are most familiar with or visit most often when answering the questions.

4 – Cost(e.g., it is a cost effective means to travel)
5 – Experience (e.g., driving is part of the leisure experience; I can see and enjoy more of the park)
6 – Autonomy (e.g., I control my environment and who I experience the park with)
8b What is it about using a visitor shuttle or bus that you like for getting around a national park? Please rank the themes below from most important (1) to least important (7).
1 – Safety (e.g., I feel a sense of security using this mode; I won’t get lost)
2 – Convenience (e.g., I can get to the points of interest I want to visit)
3 – Efficiency (e.g., it’s a practical way to travel for me/people I travel with – i.e., family, kids)

6 – Relaxation (e.g., Someone else does the driving; I avoid the stress of driving, wayfinding, finding parking)
7 – Environment (e.g., I reduce my environmental impact – carbon footprint, emissions)
9 If you had the following on-demand driving information before you left home to come to a national park, how likely is it to influence your plans to visit that day?
10 In your opinion, how should parks generally manage the use of cars to get around national parks?
1 - Cars should be given priority over other forms of transportation such as shuttles (e.g., have more/larger parking lots)11 In your opinion, how much do you think the following goals should influence decisions about what transportation options are supported in national parks? Rank from most influence (1) to least influence (3).
1 - Utilitarian (ways to move people from one location to another)Transportation is an important part of the management of a national park. Parks are examining ‘alternative’ modes of mobility that are more sustainable in natural settings. Alternative means modes other than personal vehicles such as cars.
Common examples of alternatives to get to or get around a national park include:
This section will explore the desirability and needs associated with alternative transport.
Getting Around a National ParkWe would like you to imagine a future where the Canadian national park(s) you visit has free visitor shuttles to help people get to their points of interest. Let’s assume you are visiting for the day and you drove to the national park in your car.
12 Assume you are required to leave your car in a parking lot (e.g., a park and ride) and use the visitor shuttle to get around. We would like to know what might concern you the most about having to use the visitor shuttle? (Select up to 5).
1 - Getting stranded (i.e., miss last pickup of the day)
2 - Being alone at isolated pick-up/drop-off points
3 - Infrequent service limits my time to do/see what I want
4 - Not being able to reach my desired points of interest /destination
5 - Needing to take more time to get where want to go
6 - Feeling rushed (i.e., have to plan to the shuttle schedule)
8 - Security of my car/belongings (i.e., in parking lot where I leave it)
10 - Crowding on the shuttle
11 - Accessibility of the shuttles and pick-up/drop-off points
12 - Waiting in long lines or crowds at pick-up/drop-off points
13 - Waiting in inclement or hot weather at pick-up /drop-off points
14 - Unable to bring gear/belongings on board (e.g., picnic cooler, bicycle, canoe)
15 - Practicality of it for bringing gear for the day (e.g., picnic cooler, strollers, bicycle)
16 - Departure delays due to others bringing their gear on board
13 Now assume the same day visit but now the visitor shuttle is optional. We would like to know which of the following features or situations would influence you to park your car and choose the visitor shuttle instead to get around the park (Select 4)
1 - An interpretive program on board to describe the park’s natural/cultural features
2 - Extended hours on the route (e.g., early morning, late evening)
3 - Signs or an app that provides real time shuttle arrival/departure times
4 - Ample space for gear such as coolers, bicycles, or strollers
5 - Short intervals between shuttles (i.e., less wait time)
6 - Direct shuttle routes that connect parking lots to trail heads or specific points of interest
7 - It was accessible (mobility, auditory, visual)
8 - Information is available about the environmental benefits of shuttle use (e.g., less noise, emissions)
10 - It is autonomous (i.e., no driver)
11- None of these
14a Other than cost, are there any other factors that would make you more likely to park your car and use a visitor shuttle in a national park if one existed?

Section 3 : Autres moyens de transport et parcs nationaux
Le transport est un élément important de la gestion globale d’un parc national. Les parcs du monde entier examinent des modes de transport « de rechange » qui sont plus durables dans des environnements naturels. Les autres solutions de transport excluent les véhicules personnels tels que les voitures.
Voici des exemples courants de solutions de rechange pour se rendre à ou se déplacer dans un parc national :
• Transport public : transport collectif (autobus, train)
• Navettes pour les visiteurs : véhicules de tourisme qui fonctionnent d’après un horaire et transportent les gens entre des points d’intérêt et des terrains de stationnement collecteurs (p. ex. un parc-o-bus).
• Transport actif : mode de transport à propulsion humaine qui utilise l’activité physique pour se déplacer. Le cyclisme est un exemple courant.
Cette section explorera le caractère souhaitable et les besoins associés aux autres moyens de transport.
