Yet many organizers still rely on broad assumptions, incomplete surveys or estimates that reveal little about what could actually be improved. Petit Duc helps you collect travel information directly from participants, calculate the related emissions and identify practical opportunities for future editions. Instead of simply estimating your footprint, you gain a clearer picture of: - Transportation modes used - Distances travelled - Carpooling and vehicle occupancy - Public and active transportation - Multimodal Journeys - Highest-impact travel patterns **Top travel mode** By share of participants Motor Vehicle 42% Airplane 28% Public Transit 16% Bicycle 9% Walking 5% Based on 1,248 responses **Average distance** Per participant 126km **Travel emissions** Per participant 12.4t ## Getting to an event is rarely a simple trip from A to B Petit Duc is designed to capture the reality of how participants actually travel. - #### Detailed multimodal journeys Capture several transportation modes within the same trip. - #### Precise Location Tracking Let participants enter a specific address for more accurate distance and emissions estimates. - #### Round-trip journey tracking Let participants report the return journey when it differs. - ![Icon of a car with several passengers, illustrating carpooling.](https://www.petitduc.ca/images/illustrations/features-form-carpooling.31ea5e45.png) #### Carpooling and ride-sharing Include vehicle occupancy for more representative results. - #### Active and Collective Transportation Reflect walking, cycling and public transit alongside motorized travel. ![Petit Duc form confirmation screen thanking the participant after submitting their trip.](https://www.petitduc.ca/images/illustrations/features-form-experience-mockup.b980fa17.png) ## A better form should not feel like more work Participants do not need to understand greenhouse gas calculations or emission factors. They simply describe their journey in familiar terms, while Petit Duc handles the analysis behind the scenes. - Easy to complete on a phone or desktop - Available in English and French - Accessible through a link or QR code - Suitable before, during or after an event - No spreadsheets or technical jargon Easy to launch ## Add travel data collection without changing your process Petit Duc can be integrated into the communication channels you already use.

Does the form support multimodal travel? Yes. Participants can add multiple transportation modes and travel segments to the same journey, helping you capture how they actually travelled to your event. Can participants enter different outbound and return journeys? Yes. Participants can provide separate information for their outbound and return journeys when their route or transportation modes differ. Can the form account for carpooling? Yes. Participants can indicate whether they travelled with other people and provide the number of occupants in the vehicle, resulting in a more representative emissions estimate. How do participants access the form? Participants can access the form through a direct link or a QR code provided by Petit Duc. You can include them in emails, presentation slides, event signage, or other participant communications. Can it be used for events with several locations? Native support for multi-location events is planned for a future release. In the meantime, separate forms can be created for each venue, activity, or event location. Can responses be anonymized? Responses are anonymized by default. Petit Duc collects the travel information required for analysis without associating results with an identifiable participant. What support is included? We provide practical guidance to help you introduce the form, choose the right moments to share it, and encourage more participants to report their journeys. This helps improve response rates and the quality of the data collected. #### Still have questions? Contact our team.
