Re: [CTPP] 1970 census transportation mode to work data

I am looking at a reproduction of the 1970 questionnaire. It's item 29d, in the 15 percent sample only. It reads: How did he [note the old sexism] get to work last week? Fill one circle for chief means used on the last day he worked at the address given in 29c. Driver, private auto Passenger, private auto Bus or streetcar Subway or elevated Railroad Taxicab Walked only Worked at home Other means (specify)__________________ I would be willing to bet that all SOV respondents are in the first category. In the rare instance of a carpool, a respondent would put him/herself in the first category if they drove on the last day, and in the second category if they did not. Remember, this was before the first big energy crisis and carpooling wasn't very common back then. On the other hand, public transit was used a lot more than it is now! Sorry--I had a birthday yesterday and I am reminded once again that I was indeed mostly a SOV driver in 1970.
