Abstract:

This policy brief summarizes findings from the project, which had two main research questions. First, what is the best way to measure individuals’ long-distance travel in order to inform planning and policy? Second, what factors are associated with long-distance travel and do they suggest inequitable access to intercity and more distant destinations? This project relied on several innovative existing datasets, original interviews, and a unique survey of travel and social network geography.
