Summary View help for Summary
The purpose of the 1996 Bay Area Travel Study was to survey households in California's nine county Bay Area (including Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose) to collect information on activities and travel in the area. This study focused on households who used the Bay Bridge corridor, either by driving or using transit. The 1996 Bay Area Travel Study varies from other household travel surveys in that households were asked to record all of their activities for a specific two-day period, rather than complete a 24-hour travel log. Respondents were asked to report detailed information regarding their travel, including trip locations, mode of transportation, trip start and end times, trip purpose, and trip activities. Demographic variables include gender, age, employment status, whether the respondent held a valid driver's license, occupation, whether the respondent was a student, income, education level, ethnicity, whether the respondent had a disability, and whether the respondent was a volunteer.
