This conference brought together a diverse group of people, including demographers, travel behavior analysts, transportation policy analysts, survey methodologists and others, to describe the full continuum of personal travel in the United States. The results of the fifth Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) and the American Travel Survey (ATS), both conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, were presented. The objectives of the conference included: suggesting policy and planning applications for travel analyses; identifying additional research priorities; improving data elements in these or similar travel surveys; and providing ideas for future NPTS and ATS surveys, or combined versions of the two surveys. This circular contains the conference proceedings, including welcoming remarks, two keynote addresses, panel discussions, and papers prepared for the conference. |
