From July 1977 to June 1978, the Bureau of Transport Economics (BTE) conducted the National Travel Survey (NTS). This was a major survey of nonurban travel in Australia.

The present work builds on that published previously (BTE Occasional Paper 6, Photochemical Pollution in Australian Airsheds) to develop a discussion of the basic principles and specific measures appropriate to the improvement of urban air quality.

This paper presents estimates of the concentration of ownership and the geographic distribution of the Australian trucking fleet.
