• Abstract:
  Travel behavior trends are impacted by a variety of factors, including household characteristics, built environment, and transportation service, among others. Transportation planning has traditionally focused on work trips and related rush hour congestion, but in the past decade, more recognition has also been given to the role of non-work trips as well. As a result, employment status is one of the primary determinants of travel behavior at both the individual and household levels. Connecting people to opportunities is an important function of the U.S. transportation infrastructure system. Understanding how employment status impacts travel trends in the United States is a major benefit of the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS). This report provides an analysis of U.S. travel behavior trends by employment status using NHTS data from 2001, 2009, and 2017 with a focus on person-miles traveled (PMT) and person trip rates. Unless otherwise noted, all trips are person trips, and all miles traveled reflect PMT.
