| Abstract | Technological advances, changing roles of men and women in society, increases in the elderly population, and our increased knowledge of human behavior have significantly impacted our lives in the last quarter of the 20th century. Our travel behavior also reflects many of these changes in our society. The Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) provides the data needed to quantify and analyze current travel and to study travel in the context of the demographics of the traveler and the travel choices available. NPTS is the nation's inventory of daily passenger travel. It is the only authoritative source of national data on the amount and nature of daily personal travel in the U.S. and how travel has changed over time. The NPTS collects information on: 1) all trips 2) by all modes 3) for all purposes 4) in urban and rural areas. |
