Abstract:

The last NHTS Brief, Congestion: Non-Work Trips in Peak Travel Times, showed the growing number of non-work trips that are occurring during peak weekday commute hours. Looking at an average weekday, nonwork travel now constitutes 56 percent of trips during the AM peak and 69 percent of trips during the PM peak. Understanding who is making these trips and for what purposes is important as the transportation community explores several congestion mitigation strategies in large urban areas and throughout the U.S. transportation system. Continuing our series of briefs on congestion, this brief looks at the trends, amount, and characteristics of nonwork vehicle trips during the peak periods. The average American is taking approximately four more trips a week than a decade ago for non-work purposes; travel for eating out, recreational activities, and shopping have all increased.
