FHWA Research and Technology Evaluation: National Household Travel Survey Program Final Report

The final report of the NHTS Program evaluation performed by Volpe National Transportation Systems Center is now available. The NHTS program has been assessed on three major aspects: i) The extent of NHTS survey usage; ii) The impact of the NHTS Program on policy, project, and regulatory decision-making; and iii) The responsiveness of the NHTS Program to its user community. The report outlines how NHTS data provides a valuable insight into the American travel behavior thus helping to formulate travel demand models and influencing several transport related policy and legislative initiatives.
