Abstract:

This report uses data from the 2022 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) to examine the daily travel patterns of American adults with travel-limiting disabilities and data from the 2001, 2009, and 2017 NHTS to illustrate trends over time. The NHTS asks individuals to self-report if they have “a temporary or permanent condition or handicap that makes it difficult to travel outside of the home.” In 2022, an estimated 18.6 million people reported travel-limiting disabilities; down by a statistically significant amount from 25.5 million in 2017. People with disabilities accounted for 6.1 percent of the population age 5 and older in 2022, 8.5 percent of the population in 2001, 10.2 percent in 2009, and 8.5 percent in 2017.
Content Notes:

The estimates in this report will differ from disability-related estimates from other sources, such as the American Community Survey, Current Population Survey, and the national Health Interview Survey, due to the differences in the definition of disabilities used.
