• Abstract:
  The National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) is the source of the nation’s information about travel by US residents in all 50 States and the District of Columbia. This inventory of travel behavior includes trips made by all modes of travel (private vehicle, public transportation, pedestrian and cycling) and for all purposes (travel to work, school, recreation, and personal/family trips). Federal and state agencies use the survey results to monitor the performance and adequacy of current facilities and infrastructure, and to plan for future needs. State and regional agencies use the data to support travel demand modeling and long-range transportation planning. Data from the NHTS are included in broader, bi-annual reports to Congress on the performance of the surface transportation system. Survey data are also applied outside of transportation in the fields of public health, environmental analysis, time use studies, energy consumption, and social welfare.
