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 2012 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-4) for both:
Non-scheduled passenger land transport (4922)
Freight transport by road (4923)
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.

Sampling Procedure
Sample Frame:
It is a list of parks that were collected in the frame survey and included Taxi park, Freight Transport by Road park, for the vehicles model (2003 and below, 2004and above). The frame amounted to (11,561) vehicles.
Sample Design:
It is a list of parks (Lines) that were collected in the frame survey and included Taxi park, Freight Transport by Road park, for the vehicles model (2003 and below, 2004 and above). The frame amounted to (11,561) vehicles.
Sample Clusters:
Parks were divided to clusters on the following levels:
1. Transport kind: Vehicles divided according to its activity to:
- Taxi passengers.
- Private passengers.
- Freight transport by road.
2. Vehicles model: Vehicles divided according to its model to:
- Model 2003 and below.

Response Rate
The Response ratio is (98.5%)
Weighting
The sampling weight of the vehicle is the mathematical turned of the possibility selection of that enterprise. It is necessary to use weights in the estimation of the survey society because of the differentiation in the possibility of vehicles selection from one another .

The Information System Directorate administrates the whole process with all its requirements. The data entry team is of data entry employees and a supervisor.
Editing of Data Entry:
There are tow steps:
First: Throughout the data entry itself since the program itself is available to correct mistakes in data entry.
Second: Listing of questionnaires, which are, still have mistakes in data entry.
Data Tabulation:
Primary tables are exerted after the process of data entry and editing. A process of editing data is being taken to have at the end a final correct data tables.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Statistical Errors
Data of this survey affected by statistical errors due to use the sample, Therefore, the emergence of certain differences from the real values expect obtained through censuses. It had been calculated variation of the most important indicators exists and the facility with the report. And the dissemination levels of the data were particularized at the regional level in the Palestinian Territories.
Non-Statistical Errors
Non-statistical errors are probable in all stages of the project, during data collection or processing. This is referred to as non-response errors, response errors, interview in errors, and data entry errors. To avoid errors and reduce their effects, great efforts were made to train the fieldworkers intensively. They were trained in how to carry out the interview, what to discuss and what to avoid
