  • Abstract:
    The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) considers the Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS( a valuable resource for understanding changes in travel behavior in the United States. The 1990 NPTS is the fourth national survey of personal travel behavior, preceded by surveys conducted in 1969, 1977, and 1983. By mining the rich data that the NPTS provides, light is shed on understanding why people do what they do relative to transportation use. Such analysis provides valuable insight for effective decisionmaking to meet changing transportation needs. To enrich the interpretive process and to explore specific travel issues implicit in the 1990 NPTS data set, FHWA's Office of Highway Information Management commissioned 12 papers focusing on specific topics to help explain important emerging travel trends and to identify key public policy issues, planning implications, and research needs. The issues addressed in these papers include the following: Declines in carpooling. Potential saturation of travel by male population. Trip linking behavior. Travel by women. Travel by the elderly. Travel by households without vehicles.
