Background: Active travel is beneficial to public health, but longitudinal population surveillance data on this behavior are limited.Purpose: This study aims to monitor active travel at different health-enhancing thresholds and to identify trip purposes that contributed to health by using transport survey data.Methods: The continuous Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area Household Travel Survey (19972007) was analyzed in 2009. Each year, approximately 3250 households were randomly sampled (67% average response rate). All trips undertaken for a nominated 24-hour period were recorded for every household member during a face-to-face interview. Trips were coded by mode, purpose, duration, and street distance. The yearly prevalence and temporal change for adults (>= 15 years) were calculated for any walking and cycling (i.e., trip per day) and by health-enhancing indicators dependent on trip duration ( minutes) and amount (i.e., >= 30 minutes/day).Results: Significant increasing trends were observed for all walking indicators, with a peak in 2005, where 39.2% walked, 24.7% walked >= 1 trip of >= 10 minutes, and 14.3% or 17.8% achieved the recommended 30 minutes a day with or without stipulation on trip duration, respectively. Health-enhancing walking increased in most population subgroups. Cycling prevalence was low (
