Travel Survey

The National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) will be polling over 1,500 Vermont households over the next year. This 40 year old survey is designed to provide data on the public's use of the transportation system. As an attachment to the national survey, The Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Vermont Agency of Transportation, and the University of Vermont Transportation Research Center (TRC) have partnered with the US Department of Transportation (DOT) to collect more detailed travel data for Vermont. The TRC, among other tasks, will be in charge of providing summary results of the data specific to Vermont as it becomes available. In total the DOT survey will collect travel behavior information from 150,000 households nationwide. Vermont is one of 19 "add-on" areas for this years NHTS. [Source: Burlington Free Press]
