NTRODUCTION

Policymakers rely on transportation statistics, including data on personal travel behavior, to

formulate strategic transportation policies, and to improve the safety, security, and efficiency

of the U.S. transportation system. Data on personal travel trends are needed to examine the

reliability, efficiency, capacity, and flexibility of the Nation’s transportation system to meet

current demands and accommodate future demands; to assess the feasibility and efficiency of

alternative congestion-alleviating technologies (e.g., designated truck lanes, intelligent

vehicle and highway systems); to evaluate the merits of alternative transportation investment

programs; and to assess the energy-use and air-quality impacts of various policies.

I

To address these data needs, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) initiated an effort

in 1969 to collect detailed data on personal travel. The 1969 survey was the first Nationwide

Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS). The survey was conducted again in 1977, 1983,

1990, 1995, and 2001. The 2001 survey was renamed the National Household Travel Survey

(NHTS); and was co-sponsored by three DOT agencies: Federal Highway Administration,

Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The primary objective of the survey was to collect trip-based data on the nature and

characteristics of personal travel. Detailed information was collected on daily and longer-

distance travel for all purposes by all modes. Commercial and institutional travel was not

part of the survey.

New York State purchased additional sampling of households in the 2001 NHTS, increasing

the sample sizes within its planning areas. The increased sample sizes provided additional

data for more reliable transportation planning. The final sample size for New York State

was 13,423 usable households.

HO IS INCLUDED

Similar to the previous surveys, the 2001 NHTS collected travel data from the civilian, non-

institutionalized population of the United States. People living in medical institutions,

prisons, and in barracks on military bases were excluded from the sample. However,

telephone numbers in dormitory rooms, fraternity, and sorority houses were included so long

as no more than 10 people shared the same telephone number. Prior to 2001, all household

members age 5 or older were eligible to be interviewed in NPTS surveys. To improve the

completeness of travel data, the 2001 NHTS survey enumerated travel taken by all

household members regardless of the age. For children ages 5 through 13, an adult member

of the household reported for them.

W

OW THE DATA WERE COLLECTED

The NHTS was conducted as a telephone survey, using Computer-Assisted Telephone

Interviewing technology. The sample was a list-assisted telephone number sample. Each

household in the sample was assigned a specific 24-hour “Travel Day” and a four-week

“Travel Period” for which detailed data on all travel were collected.

H

The households were first contacted by an advance letter containing a monetary incentive to

participate, followed by a telephone interview about a week later. After the first telephone

interview where household characteristics were collected, travel diaries were mailed to the

household, with an additional monetary incentive, so that each household member could

record their travel on the assigned Travel Day. Members of the sampled households were

contacted by telephone within a six-day window after the designated travel day to record

their travel.

The assigned travel period was the four-week period ending with the assigned travel day.

The intent was to collect information that is representative of travel across an entire year.

Page 11: 2001 National Household Travel Survey, New York Add-On · New York Add-On Putnam, Rockland, Westchester May 2004 Patricia S. Hu Oak Ridge National Laboratory ... L Table 7.13 Ave

HEN THE DATA WERE COLLECTED

The 2001 NHTS was conducted over a period from March 19, 2001 through May 9, 2002.

Travel data were collected for all seven days of the week, including all holidays. The survey

was conducted over a period of at least 12 months so as to include seasonal variations in

travel. The 2001 NHTS took 14 months, rather than 12, to complete because the number of

trained interviewers working on the project varied throughout the year. To correct for this

seasonal variation, sample weighting was developed to specifically address this issue. Each

household and person weight was adjusted so that the weighted data reflect an equal number

of household and person interviews for each month.

W

AMPLE SIZES AND WEIGHTED SUMS

For the state of New York, information was gathered for a total of 13,423 households,

30,268 persons, 23,732 vehicles, and 118,200 trips. NHTS uses weights to expand the

sample data to estimates for the entire New York state population. The weights reflect the

sample design and selection probabilities, over-sampling of certain strata, and adjustments to

compensate for survey non-response and non-coverage. It is absolutely necessary to use the

survey weights to properly account for the sample design used for the survey.

S

The weights are multiplicative factors that must be applied to the file variables in order to

obtain valid estimates of population values. If the weights are not used, incorrect estimates

will result. For example, the overall number of unweighted daily sample trips per household

for the state of New York is 8.8, whereas the overall number of weighted daily trips per

household is 9.5. Sample errors can be magnified and lead to serious inaccuracies when

weights are not used in tabulating these data. Table 1 presents the location-specific weighted

sums of demographic characteristics and total travel.

OMPARING 2001 NHTS DATA TO DATA FROM OTHER SOURCES

It is inevitable that the 2001 NHTS data will be compared to data from other sources. For

example, the 2001 NHTS data will be compared to data from previous surveys to address

questions of whether travel behavior has changed over time, and whether the changes are

real or an artifact. Also, the 2001 NHTS data collected from New York residents will be

compared to those collected from the rest of the country to determine whether New York

residents have similar travel behavior than the rest of the country.

C

There are two points to remember when comparing 2001 NHTS data to data from other

sources. First, one should always use the weighted statistics. Second, one should always

draw conclusions by taking into account the variability in the data. In general, caution needs

to be exercised when comparing estimates based on travel surveys or other sampling

approaches. Since the 2001 New York NHTS did not interview every New York resident

regarding his/her travel patterns, travel statistics/rates reported in this report are estimated

based on data collected from a representative sample of New York residents. Whenever

estimates are derived based on data from a sample, they are subject to statistical errors.

A statistical test(s) should be conducted to ascertain whether differences between the 2001

NHTS data and those of previous years (or those of other sources) are real, or within the

statistical noise. The following example is used to illustrate such a test. It is estimated that

New York residents drove a total of 95,207 million miles in their vehicles (vehicle miles

traveled (VMT)) in 2001. This figure was estimated to be 95,571 million miles in 1995.

The question then becomes whether this decrease in driving is real or within the sampling

errors. To answer this question with a statistical certainty, one needs first to estimate the

variances for these VMT estimates. They are 1,8442 million miles in 2001 (denoted by )

and 2,200

$σ20012

2 million in 1995 (denoted by ). If the z test statistic is less than -1.96 (or

greater than 1.96), then we are 95% confident to conclude that the 2001 VMT was actually

less than (or greater than) that in 1995. The test statistics is computed as:

$σ19952

Since -0.127 is greater than -1.96 (i.e., less negative), we are about 95% confident that the

decrease in driving from 1995 to 2001 is within the statistical noise.

Alternatively, one could compare the confidence intervals1 of these VMT estimates. If the

intervals do not overlap, then one can conclude that the VMT difference between the two

years is real. However, if the intervals do overlap, then it is not necessarily true that the

difference is real. This is because the confidence-interval approach overestimates the

standard error of the difference (e.g., VMT2001-VMT1995). Therefore, we recommend that the

z test be used when comparing 2001 data with data from earlier surveys or from other

sources.

Standard errors were calculated for 2001 NHTS estimates on: 1) vehicle occupancy, 2) the

total vehicle miles traveled, 3) the total number of vehicle trips, 4) the total person miles

traveled, 5) the total number of person trips, and 6) the average length of person trips. All of

these estimates are categorized by mode (e.g., car, air, transit) and trip purpose (e.g., to work,

religion related activities, shopping). This information is available on the web site:

http://www.dot.state.ny.us/ttss/index.html

Similar tables for 1995 NPTS data are also available on this site. If these published tables do

not include standard errors for particular 2001 NHTS data, then one can use the web tools on

www.nhts.ornl.gov to calculate the errors.

1. Confidence intervals represent a range of values within which the true population parameter is likely to lie with a pre-determined confidence.

RAVEL CONCEPTS

Appendix A contains a full glossary of terms used in this report. However, a few basic terms

and concepts need to be introduced before data are presented.

T

Person Trip - A trip by one person in any mode of transportation. This is the most basic

and universal measure of personal travel. Each record in the Travel Day and Travel Period

files in the NHTS dataset represents one-person trip. An example of this is if two people are

traveling together in one car, two person trips are counted. Based on 2001 NHTS data,

residents of New York State made an estimated 24,899 million person-trips that year.

Person Miles of Travel (PMT) - The number of miles traveled by each person on a trip. An

example of this is two people taking a six-mile subway trip to the airport result in 12 person

miles of travel. A four-mile van trip with a driver and three passengers counts as 16 person

miles of travel.

Person-miles are often called passenger miles, particularly in the transit and airline

industries. The state of New York had an estimated 194,513 million person-miles of travel

during the 2001 NHTS period.

Vehicle Trip - A trip by a single privately operated vehicle (POV) regardless of the number

of persons in the vehicle. For example, two people traveling together in a car would be

counted as one vehicle trip. Four people going to a restaurant in a van are considered one

vehicle trip. To be counted as a vehicle trip in the NHTS, a trip must be made in a POV and

the driver must be a member of a household in the NHTS sample. A POV can be a

household-based car, van, sport utility vehicle, pickup truck, other truck, recreational

vehicle, motorcycle or other POV. The vehicle does not need to belong to the household.

7

Page 16: 2001 National Household Travel Survey, New York Add-On · New York Add-On Putnam, Rockland, Westchester May 2004 Patricia S. Hu Oak Ridge National Laboratory ... L Table 7.13 Ave

Trips made in other highway vehicles, such as buses, streetcars, taxis, and school buses are

collected in the NHTS. However, these trips are not counted as vehicle trips because these

vehicles are not privately operated vehicles. The state of New York had an estimated 10,886

million vehicle-trips during the 2001 NHTS period.

Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) - One vehicle mile of travel is the movement of one

privately operated vehicle (POV) for one mile, regardless of the number of people in the

vehicle. When one person drives her car 12 miles to work, 12 vehicle miles of travel have

been made. If two people travel three miles in a pickup truck, three vehicle miles of travel

have been made. The distinction among person trip, person miles of travel, vehicle trip and

vehicle miles of travel is better illustrated in Figure 1. The state of New York had an

estimated 95,209 million vehicle-miles of travel during the 2001 NHTS period.

Vehicle Occupancy - For NHTS data, vehicle occupancy is generally computed as person

miles of travel per vehicle mile (referred to as the travel method). Note that the other

commonly used definition of vehicle occupancy is persons per vehicle trip (referred to as the

trip method).

Because longer trips often have higher occupancies, the travel method generally yields a

higher vehicle occupancy rate than the trip method. For example, the average person-miles

of travel per vehicle mile for the state of New York was 2.0 in 2001 compared to a vehicle

occupancy of 1.6 persons per vehicle trip. The calculation of the travel method requires that

trip miles be reported, thus it is calculated on a slightly smaller number of trips than the trip

method.

Daily Trip Rates - Rather than presenting total travel, much of the data presented in this

report are in units of daily trip rate, such as the number of trips taken by an individual on a

typical day. Daily trip rates are derived by dividing the total travel (e.g., total person trips)

by the total number of entities (e.g., households, workers, drivers, persons). Appendix B

contains information that enables the user to convert daily trip rates to total travel. For

example, the daily person trip rates reported in Table 4-6 can be used in conjunction with

Table B-1 (of Appendix B) to calculate the total person trip distribution by age and gender.

Average Daily Person Travel per Person - The average daily number of

person trips or person miles of travel taken by a person. This includes

persons who did not travel during the designated travel day. The estimated

average daily person trips per person in the state of New York was 3.66. The

estimated average daily person miles per person was 28.60 during the 2001

NHTS period.

Average Daily Travel per Household - The average daily number of person

trips, vehicle trips, person miles of travel, vehicle miles of travel, or journey-

to-work trips taken by a typical household in the state of New York. This

includes households that did not travel during the designated travel day. For

9

Page 18: 2001 National Household Travel Survey, New York Add-On · New York Add-On Putnam, Rockland, Westchester May 2004 Patricia S. Hu Oak Ridge National Laboratory ... L Table 7.13 Ave

the state of New York, the estimates are as follows: the average daily person

trips per household was 9.5, the average daily person miles per household

was 74.19, the average daily vehicle trips per household was 4.15, the

average daily vehicle miles per household was 36.31, and the average daily

journey-to-work trips taken by a household was 1.5 during the 2001 NHTS

period.

Average Daily Vehicle Travel per Driver - The average number of daily

vehicle trips or vehicle miles of travel driven by an individual driver in the

state of New York. This includes drivers who did not drive during the

designated travel day. On average, a New York driver drove 2.67 trips and

23.36 miles per day.

Average Daily Journey-to-Work Travel per Worker - The average number of

daily journeys to work or journey-to-work miles of travel taken by a worker.

The denominator includes workers who work at home and workers who did

not go to work during the designated travel day. On average, a typical New

York worker took 1.12 trips to work per day.

TRAVEL DAY and TRAVEL PERIOD sections refer to two sections of the NHTS

questionnaire designed to complement each other. In the travel day section, the respondent

is asked to report all trips of any length by any mode of travel during a 24-hour period. This

reporting provides data on the types of trips made on a daily basis, such as trips to work, or

the store, running errands, and visiting friends. Because most people make out-of-town trips

less frequently, respondents are asked to report any long trips (defined as a trip where the

farthest destination is at least 50 miles from home) for a four-week period. This is known as

the travel period and includes the travel day as well as the preceding 27 days (Figure 2).

10

Figure 2. Temporal Relationship Between Travel Day and Travel Period

If the respondent took a trip of 50 miles or more and returned home on the Travel Day, then

information about that trip is collected in both the travel day and travel period sections of the

questionnaire. Note that, for travel period trips, it does not matter when the outgoing portion

of the trip took place. The return trip must be made during the 28-day travel period.

Information about a trip is collected (and counted) twice only for travel that takes place on

the travel day. A variable is created to identify which travel-day trips are part of the long

trip reported in the travel-period file so as to avoid double counting.

TRAVEL CONCEPTS AND GLOSSARY OF TERMS

TRAVEL CONCEPTS TRIP DEFINITION - A trip is defined as any time the respondent went from

one address to another by private motor vehicle, public transportation, bicycle, walking, or other means. However, a separate trip is not counted in two instances: - When the sole purpose for the trip is to get to another vehicle or mode

of transportation in order to continue to the destination. - Travel within a shopping center, mall or shopping areas of 4-5 blocks is

to be considered as travel to one destination. This definition does not apply to trips eligible for reporting in the Travel Period. See the glossary for “Travel-Period trip.”

PERSON TRIP DEFINITION - A trip by one person in any mode of transportation. This

is the most basic and universal measure of personal travel. Each record in the Travel Day and Travel Period files in the NPTS dataset represents one-person trip. EXAMPLES - Two people traveling together in one car are counted as two person trips. Three people walking to the store together are counted as three person trips. WHEN TO USE -The unit of person trips must be used when comparing travel by various modes (e.g., private vehicles, public transportation, walking, school bus, air, etc.). It is the appropriate unit of measure for the movement of people, as opposed to vehicles, e.g., “the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes carry 42 percent of all person trips to the central city.”

Page 78: 2001 National Household Travel Survey, New York Add-On · New York Add-On Putnam, Rockland, Westchester May 2004 Patricia S. Hu Oak Ridge National Laboratory ... L Table 7.13 Ave

A - 2

PERSON MILES OF TRAVEL (PMT)

DEFINITION - The number of miles traveled by each person on a trip. EXAMPLES - If two people traveling together take a six-mile subway trip to the airport, that trip results in 12 person miles of travel. A four-mile van trip with a driver and three passengers counts as 16 person miles of travel. WHEN TO USE - As with person trips, person miles must be used when analyzing travel by the various modes of transport. It is the appropriate measure when the topic of analysis is the miles traveled by people, not vehicles.

VEHICLE TRIPS

DEFINITION - A trip by a single privately operated vehicle (POV) regardless of the number of persons in the vehicle. EXAMPLES - Two people traveling together in a car would be counted as one vehicle trip. Four people going to a restaurant in a van are considered one vehicle trip. NHTS MODE RESTRICTIONS - To be considered a vehicle trip in NHTS, the trip must have been made in a privately operated vehicle, namely a household-based car, van, sport utility vehicle, pickup truck, other truck, recreational vehicle, motorcycle or other POV. The vehicle does not need to belong to the household. Trips made in other highway vehicles, such as buses, streetcars, taxis, and school buses are collected in the NHTS, but these are not counted as vehicle trips. WHEN TO USE - The unit of vehicle trips is most appropriately used when considering POV travel, e.g., “20 percent of all POV trips are for commuting to and from work.”

VEHICLE MILES OF TRAVEL (VMT)

DEFINITION - One vehicle mile of travel is the movement of one privately operated vehicle (POV) for one mile, regardless of the number of people in the vehicle. EXAMPLES- When one person drives her car 12 miles to work, 12 vehicle miles of travel have been made. If two people travel three miles by pickup, three vehicle miles of travel have been made. MODE RESTRICTIONS - For NHTS data, vehicle miles are restricted to privately operated vehicles as vehicle trips (see above), that is a household-based car, van, sport utility vehicle, pickup truck, other truck, recreational vehicle, or other POV.

A - 3

WHEN TO USE- Vehicle miles of travel (VMT) are a very commonly used measure of highway travel. This measure is particularly important when analyzing highway capacity, congestion and air quality.

VEHICLE OCCUPANCY DAILY TRIP RATES

DEFINITION - For NHTS data, vehicle occupancy is generally computed as person miles of travel per vehicle mile. Note that the other commonly used definition of vehicle occupancy is persons per vehicle trip. DEFINITION -

Average Daily Person Travel per Person The average daily number of person trips or person miles of travel taken by a person. This includes persons who did not travel during the designated travel day. Among the 30,268 persons interviewed for the New York NHTS add-on, 3,867 persons did not take any trips on their travel days. Average Daily Travel per Household The average daily number of person trips, vehicle trips, person miles of travel, vehicle miles of travel, or journey-to-work trips taken by a household. This includes households that did not travel during the designated travel day. Average Daily Vehicle Travel per Driver The average daily number of vehicle trips or vehicle miles of travel taken by an individual driver. This includes drivers who did not drive during the designated travel day. Average Daily Journey-to-Work Travel per Worker The average daily number of JTW trips or JTW miles of travel taken by a worker. This includes workers who worked at home and workers who did not travel to work during the designated travel day.

HOW TO COMPUTE - Compute the travel total (e.g. Vehicle Trips, VMT, Person Trips, etc.) as described above. Divide the travel total by the total number of persons, households, drivers, or workers to derive a corresponding daily travel rate.

GLOSSARY This glossary provides the most commonly used terms in the NHTS and definitions of those terms. These definitions are provided to assist the user in the interpretation of the NHTS data. Adult A person 18 years or older. Block Group A subdivision of a Census tract that averages 1,000 to 1,100 people, and

approximately 400-500 housing units. Census Tract A small subdivision of a county, containing approximately 4,000 persons.

Tracts can range in population from 2,500 to 8,000. The geographic size of the tract may vary considerably, depending on population density. Tracts were designed to be homogeneous in regard to population characteristics, economic status and living conditions when they were first delineated. Since the first tracts were delineated for the 1890 Census, today=s tracts may be far from homogeneous.

Child Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA)

A child is normally defined as a person under the age of 18. An exception to this is for life cycle, where a child can be anyone through the age of 21 who is listed as a child to the household respondent. A large metropolitan complex of 1 million or more population, containing two or more identifiable component parts designated as primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSAs). For example, the Boston-Worcester-Lawrence CMSA is composed of the following ten PMSAs: Boston, Brockton, Fitchburg-Leominster, Lawrence, Lowell, Manchester, Nashua, New Bedford, Portsmouth-Rochester, and Worcester.

Destination For travel day trips, the destination is the point at which there is a break in

travel, except if the break is only to change vehicles or means of transport. For travel period trips, the destination is the farthest point of travel.

Driver A driver is a person who operates a motorized vehicle. If more than one

person drives on a single trip, the person who drives the most miles is classified as the principal driver.

Motorized Vehicle

Motorized vehicles are all vehicles that are licensed for highway driving. Snowmobiles and minibikes are specifically excluded.

Occupancy Occupancy is the number of persons, including driver and passenger(s) in

a vehicle. NHTS occupancy rates are generally defined as person miles divided by vehicle miles.

Origin Origin is the starting point of a trip. Overlap Trip A travel period trip that occurs on travel day, and is thus collected in both

portions of the NHTS questionnaire. To insure that this trip is not counted twice, eliminate overlap trips from travel day data when travel day and travel period data will be added together.

Passenger For a specific trip, a passenger is any occupant of a motorized vehicle,

other than the driver. Person Miles of Travel (PMT)

PMT is a primary measure of person travel. When one person travels one mile, one-person mile of travel results. When four persons travel 5 miles in the same vehicle, 20 person miles of travel result (4 x 5 = 20).

Person Trip A person trip is a trip by one person in any mode of transportation. When

four persons travel together in one auto, four person trips result. POV

Winter: December through February; Spring: March through May; Summer: June through August; Fall: September through November.

Travel Day A travel day is a 24-hour period from 4:00 a.m. to 3:59 a.m. designated as

the reference period for studying trips and travel by members of a sampled household.

Travel Period A travel period consists of 28 days. The travel period is the 27-day period

that precedes the travel day, and includes the 28th day as the travel day for a sampled household.

Travel Day Trip

A travel day trip is defined as any time the respondent went from one address to another by private motor vehicle, public transportation, bicycle,walking, or other means. However, a separate trip is not counted in two instances:

1. When the sole purpose for the trip is to get to another vehicle or mode of transportation in order to continue to the destination.

2. Travel within a shopping center, mall or shopping areas of 4-5 blocks is to be considered as travel to one destination.

Travel Period Trip

A travel period trip is a trip where the farthest destination is at least 50 miles from home. The outgoing portion of this trip can take place at any time, but the return must be within the four-week travel period. The four-week travel period ends on and includes the assigned travel day.

Trip Purpose A trip purpose is the main reason that motivates a trip. There are 36 travel

day trip purposes used in the 2001 NHTS. For the 2001 Survey, trip purposes were collected using a From-To approach. For each trip, the origin and destination are on the file in generic terms, e.g. from work to shopping. The 36 trip reasons are defined as follows: Return Home

1. To Home. Travel to home after leaving for some reason. To Work

2. Go to Work. The first trip to the work location on travel day. Return to Work

3. Return to Work. A trip to work that is not the first trip to work on the travel day.

Urbanized Area

An urbanized area consists of the built up area surrounding a central core (or central city), with a population density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile. Urbanized areas do not follow jurisdictional boundaries, thus it is common for the urbanized area boundary to divide a county. For the 2001 NHTS, Urban Areas were calculated two ways:

1. Variable URBAN uses the 2000 Urbanized Areas: Cartographic

Page 88: 2001 National Household Travel Survey, New York Add-On · New York Add-On Putnam, Rockland, Westchester May 2004 Patricia S. Hu Oak Ridge National Laboratory ... L Table 7.13 Ave

Boundary Files. File ua00_d00.shp from http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/ua2000.html. Two codes are used: 0 = Not in Urban Area, 1 = in Urban Area

2. Variable URBAN1 uses the 2000 Urbanized Areas: Cartographic Boundary Files. File ua00_d00.shp from http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/ua2000.html. Four codes are used: 0 = Not in Urban Area, 1 = in Urban Cluster, 2 = in Urban Area, 3 = in area surrounded by urban areas.

Vehicle In the 2001 NHTS, the term vehicle includes autos, passenger vans, sport

utility vehicles, pickups and other light trucks, RV=s, motorcycles and mopeds owned or available to the household. Note that in the 1969 NPTS, the term vehicle was limited to cars or passenger vans. Estimates show that in 1969 there were an additional 7.5 million pickups and other light trucks that are not reflected in the 1969 NPTS data.

Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT)

VMT is a unit to measure vehicle travel made by a private vehicle, such as an automobile, van, pickup truck, or motorcycle. Each mile traveled is counted as one vehicle mile regardless of the number of persons in the vehicle.

Vehicle Occupancy

Vehicle occupancy is the number of persons, including driver and passenger(s) in a vehicle; also includes persons who did not complete a whole trip. NHTS occupancy rates are generally calculated as person miles divided by vehicle miles.

Vehicle Trip A trip by a single privately operated vehicle (POV) regardless of the

number of persons in the vehicle. Vehicle Type

For purposes of the 2001 NHTS, one of the following: 1. Automobile (including station wagon) 2. Van 3. Sport Utility Vehicle 4. Pickup Truck (including pickup with camper) 5. Other Truck 6. RV or Motor Home 7. Motorcycle 8. Other

See “Means of Transportation” for definitions of these vehicle types. For NPTS, vehicle types are limited to privately operated vehicles (POV) because other vehicles that the respondent may have ridden in (e.g., bus) were not tracked throughout the day, as was the case with household vehicles.
