• Abstract:
  The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) provides a comprehensive source of information on the daily activities and time use patterns of Americans and has broad applications in transportation planning, economics, public policy, and urban planning. Despite its immense value, the complexity and scale of ATUS data make it difficult for policymakers, planners, researchers, and the general public to access, interpret, and utilize the information efficiently. Extracting meaningful insights often requires advanced analytical skills and repetitive data processing efforts, which create substantial barriers to the broader use of the dataset. To address these challenges and support the TBD Center’s broader Data Hub initiative, this project developed the Time Use, Travel, and Telework Dashboard (T3D), a web-based interactive platform designed to improve the accessibility and interpretability of ATUS data. T3D provides users with instant insights into Americans’ time use, travel behavior, and work arrangement patterns using ATUS data from 2003 to the present. The dashboard includes three dedicated topical modules focusing on the time use, travel, and telework aspects of the ATUS data. Within each topical module, the dashboard further provides within-year, between-year, and cross-segment analysis capabilities, allowing users to extract insights at multiple levels using various metrics of interest that can be customized for population segments defined by users through a set of socio-economic, demographic, and travel-related attributes. The project also explored and implemented efficient data processing and visualization techniques to ensure the dashboard remains responsive, scalable, and user-friendly. By transforming complex ATUS datasets into an accessible and interactive platform, T3D expands the usability and impact of ATUS data while supporting interdisciplinary research and evidence-based decision-making.
