# French Survey Codes

French survey data still appears in many model inputs and outputs. Use this page to decode common socio-professional categories, urban unit categories, journey motives, and trip modes without opening the raw survey documentation every time.

The labels below are reference labels used for interpretation. They do not replace the official survey documentation when you prepare a calibrated project model.
