United States
The United States does not collect data on same day travel to
or from the United States nor for Canadian overnight travel to the United States
for all modes of transportation and with travel characteristics. U.S. agencies
typically obtain this data from Statistics Canada. The American Travel Survey
also provides trip purpose data on U.S. travel to Canada for trips longer than
100 miles (approximately 160 kilometers). (See Appendix B for more information.)
