TRB Special Report 304 is ready and waiting for you on the TRB website - check it out!!!!
TRB Special Report 304: How We Travel: A Sustainable National Program for Travel Data
assesses the current state of travel data at the federal, state, and local levels and
defines an achievable and sustainable travel data system that could support public and
private transportation decision making. The committee that developed the report recommends
the organization of a National Travel Data Program built on a core of essential passenger
and freight travel data sponsored at the federal level and well integrated with travel
data collected by states, metropolitan planning organizations, transit and other local
agencies, and the private sector.
