Abstract This report includes an executive summary as well as details of research conducted to develop a set of statistical models to predict long-distance passenger travel mode. A literature and practice review was conducted to gather information on the current knowledge and practices for long-distance passenger travel modal choices. Using this information, a set of multinomial logistic regression models were developed to predict mode choice given various demographic and socioeconomic attributes of the traveler, trip characteristics such as length and purpose, land-use characteristics, as well as availability of transportation infrastructure. The models use long-distance travel data from the 2001 NHTS as well as other sources. K-fold cross-validation is used to assess the predictive ability of the models.
