This brief explores the choices that travelers make for their long-distance travel.
The National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) 2001 updates information gathered by two series of travel surveys -- the Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) conducted in 1969, 1977, 1983, 1990, and 1995 and the American Travel Survey (ATS) conducted in 1977 and 1995. Results from this report are from preliminary data collected in the long-distance travel section of the survey.
