• Abstract:
  According to the 2017 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), Americans ages 5+ reported more than 42.5 billion trips by walking or biking. These trips averaged 1 mile in length and 16 minutes in duration and comprised almost 12% of all trips annually (across all modes and purposes). Definitionally, non-motorized trips (i.e., walking and biking) include trips made for exercise or recreation as well as those made to access destinations such as workplaces, stores, etc. The purpose of this brief is to provide insights into nonmotorized travel. Specifically, it focuses on who reports non-motorized travel, where and when these trips take place, and for what purposes. All data used in this brief draw from the 2017 NHTS data.
