Abstract
There is increasing concern in national statistical offices about coverage of informal economic activities. PCBS has given priority to transport activities, due to their importance to the Palestinian economy. The informal transport survey complements the 2008 formal transport sector survey. The PCBS began by exerting tremendous effort to establish a sampling frame. All land transport stops in major Palestinian cities were defined and data about the number and characteristics of operating vehicles were collected in order to stratify the population into homogenous stratum.

The survey covers activities of the informal sector according to (ISIC-3) for both:

Non-scheduled passenger land transport (6022)

Freight transport by road (6023)

Objectives:

Objectives of this survey are the following.

1. Number of transport vehicles and persons engaged by activity.

2. Value of output and intermediate consumption

3. Value added components.

4. Fixed assets.

5. Other selected variables.
