2001 National Household Transportation Survey
• A national survey of 60,000 individuals in 26,000 households
• Data collected from March 2001 to May 2002
• Data collected for both Daily and Long-Distance Trips
• Weighted responses

NHTS Long-Distance Trips
• Trips over 50 miles to farthest destination
• Data collected for all trips during a specific 4-week period
• Each trip includes all segments of the trip, originating and ending at home

• Drivers make significantly more long-distance trips than non-drivers for all age groups
• Male drivers make more trips than female drivers for all age groups, though the gap narrows with the 75+ age group
• Conversely female non-drivers make about the same or slightly more trips than male non-drivers

• Personal vehicle is the dominant mode for long-distance trips, about 87% to 90% of all trips
• Bus use increases for higher age groups, from about 1% for the 25-54 age group, to about 6% for the 75+ age group
• The use of air travel does not vary much by age group

• There is very little change in distance traveled by different age groups
• The 65-74 age group shows the greatest variation, with somewhat fewer trips in the 50-99 mile category, and more trips in the 100-249 mile category
• The percentage of the longest trips (over a 1,000 miles) are very similar at about 6 to 7 percent of all trips for each age category

NHTS Daily Trips
• Data collected for all trips on one specified day
• Travel made from one address to another is reported as a separate trip
• Specific questions and probes were added to capture biking and walking trips, thought to be undercounted in previous surveys

• A significant narrowing of hours trips are taken occurs at higher age groups
• The percentage of trips taken between 9-12 am and 12-3 pm goes up at higher age groups, about 62% of all trips taken by the 75+ age group are taken during these hours
• Early morning and night time periods decline at higher age groups

• Mean number of trips decline at higher age groups
• Non-drivers take far fewer trips than drivers across all age groups, for example in the 85+ age group, drivers take an average of about 3 trips a day compared to about 1 trip a day for non-drivers
• Much smaller differences are observed between males and females
