CTA Transportation Networks  The CTA Transportation Networks are geographically based link-node networks of major roadways and all active railroads in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. While intended primarily for network analyses (such as routing, traffic assignment, investment, and reliability analyses), the geographic base also supports cartographic applications and the association of auxiliary data that also has a geographic base.

The National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) - Formerly known as the Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) and the American Travel Survey (ATS), the NHTS is a household-based travel survey conducted every five years by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Survey data are collected from a sample of U.S. households and expanded to provide national estimates of trips and miles by travel mode, purpose, and a host of other characteristics. The survey collects information on daily, local trips and on long-distance travel in the United States. Contact: Pat Hu

Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS 1995)  The 1995 survey and the four earlier surveys in the NPTS series yield important data on the travel behavior of the American population. The NPTS series provides data to examine the relationship among social and demographic change, land development patterns, and transportation. This internet-based analysis tool allows on-the-fly analysis by simple "points and clicks." Contact: Pat Hu
