*Apologies for cross-postings
FHWA is establishing a new pooled fund program in support of the next
generation National Household Travel Survey (NHTS). The NextGen NHTS will
integrate passive data with household travel surveys to provide both
long-distance and local travel behavior data on an annual basis. We invite
you to come and learn more about this new pooled fund effort while at TRB:
What: NextGen NHTS Pooled Fund Program Open House
When: Monday 1/8, 1-2 pm
Where: Convention Center Conference Room 302
This pooled fund is designed to bring together agencies considering their
next household travel survey program in order to learn from each other's
experiences to date and design the NextGen NHTS. Pooled fund participants
will identify design elements and benefit from research into critical
questions about the evolution to a hybrid travel behavior data source,
including guidance for evaluating passive data opportunities and
benchmarking results.
Whether you just completed a household travel survey or are actively
researching your 2020 survey program, this pooled fund program will equip
your agency with the research and results needed to meet local and long
distance travel behavior needs on an annual basis. We hope to see you at
TRB!
