| Abstract | This report presents a selection of updated data on a wide variety of statistics pertaining to urban travel demand. The information supplements earlier data contained in the UMTA handbook, Characteristics of Urban Transportation Demand — A Handbook for Transit Planners. The report is designed to be used by transportation analysts as a source of data to check the validity and reasonableness of local forecasts developed from traditional planning studies, or as a cross-check on the similarity of travel statistics from one locality to another. Certain data also may be used as default values for modeling purposes, when such information is not available locally or would require new or extensive data collection efforts. Much of the information presented was obtained from reports, documents, and memoranda produced by or for each study area contacted. A main criterion of the study was that the information collected be based on surveys, measurements, counts, and so forth, and not be synthesized results from analytical modeling efforts. Many source documents have not been circulated widely, adding to the usefulness of the data contained in this report. |
