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.)
