Document summary

Users of transport have different needs, preferences and behaviour traits.To capture this diversity, DfT developed 12 different personas to reflect 9 groups of people – also known as segments. These segments were developed from existing research that was validated and updated by a large-scale survey and ethnographic research in 2022. They break up the population into smaller clusters to define their individual traits when using transport.
