2011 Census: make bikes count
I can feel your anticipation – Census night is on August 9 and let's make it one where motorcycles are not left out of the equationThe 16th Australian Census will be held on Tuesday, August 9, with a number of questions about your residential status, family, heritage, language, religion, education, qualifications, children, income, job and travel requirements.
We’ll leave the hot potato items alone (what new religion are we going to see in 2011?), but we can touch on travel – or more specifically, motorcycles.
Did you know that motorcycles and scooters are excluded in the “How many registered vehicles are garaged in your household?” question?
But they are included in the "How did you travel to work today?” Therefore, we encourage anyone who rides a motorcycle or scooter to ride to work on Census day, because being counted can ultimately make a difference in a number of areas, including road safety funding and a recognition of the vital role that powered two-wheelers play in reducing traffic congestion.
And we’ve only touched on the thin end of the wedge.
You can complete the Census in two ways - the time-honoured paper version which has probably already been delivered to your abode, or on-line. Have your say and make powered two-wheelers count in 2011.
