• Abstract:
  The SWUTC Travel Survey Symposium was held in Dallas on November 8 and 9. More than 70 travel ; survey professionals attended this event from across the United States, from Florida to Alaska, with one ; attendee from the City of Calgary (Canada), representing an almost equal mix of agency, consultant, and ; academic researchers. The symposium started with a poster session, featuring research from 22 related ; efforts. An opening session followed that included a Texas welcome from Mr. Michael Morris, Executive ; Director of NCTCOG and a key note speech from Dr. Kermit Wies of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency ; for Planning. Attendees were encouraged to think outside the box and consider all users of travel survey ; data as their customers. ; The symposium was divided into two parts. The discussion groups on Thursday focused on identifying ; lessons learned and opportunities to advance methods and sampling approaches, as well as considering all ; uses of the survey data. The day ended with attendees presenting their versions of the “travel survey of the ; future”—incorporating new technologies, known and on the horizon. Friday, the focus of the symposium ; discussion turned to identifying what can be implemented now and establishing a research agenda to move ; us toward the newly identified survey designs.
