Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey: Urban Travel Patterns

摘要

The report focuses on urban transportation and the needs of urban transportationplanners and metropolitan planning officials. Although the report is nationwide in scope, it is designed to provide a basis for judging the trip-making and travel implications associated with individual urban area demographic and socioeconomic changes. Accordingly, the information should be of special importance to engineers, economists, and planners who are responsible for developing the models needed to forecast urban area and corridor transportation demand. The report centers on trips of 75 miles or less to provide greater comparability with regional household travel surveys. To show important urban trip-making trends, 1983 and 1990 NPTS findings are compared.
