Abstract This report is a handbook which can be used by urban transportation planners in estimating the various components of urban transportation demand. It contains characteristics of urban bus, rail, and highway systems, and urban trip-making. A part of the Urban Transportation Planning System (UTPS) of UMTA and F^WA it provides basic inputs to the urban transportation planning process as well as ways of checking the results for reasonableness and relevance. It also complements the previously distributed UTPS handbooks: Characteristics of Urban Transportation System (CUTS) Available on the UTPS distribution tape and from NTIS as PB 233 580/AS Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Limited copies available from FHWA (HHP-22) or from NTIS as PB 265 830/AS This handbook is being distributed to State DOT's, MPO's and transportation libraries and will be distributed on the UTPS tape in the future. It will be available from NTIS by Project No. UMTA IT06-0049-78-1. An Appendix to the CUTD handbook offers detailed data on individual cities, roads, routes, stations, etc. These are not in a form that is comparable from place-to-place but may be of interest from an historical perspective for the urban areas concerned. The Appendix is available only from NTIS as Project No. UMTA IT-06-0049-78-2.
