Summary View help for Summary
The 1988/1989 Maricopa Household Travel Study was intended to document how residents use the streets, highways, and transit services in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Respondents were asked to record their travel and activities for a 24-hour period. They were also asked for detailed information regarding their trips, including mode of transportation, trip purpose, departure and arrival times, and number of passengers. Demographic variables include gender, age, employment status, household size, number of children over five years old in the household, household income, and whether respondents had a valid drivers license at the time of the survey.

Sample View help for Sample
A disproportionate stratified sample was utilized on this project. Using this procedure, the sample was stratified on the basis of household size and vehicle ownership and quotas were assigned to each strata. The base for the quota assignments was the trip making variability within each strata. During the pre-test segment of this project it was determined that with repeated call backs and travel day re-scheduling approximately 65 percent of those households which agreed to participate in this study would actually do so. With this in mind, screening quotas were assigned that took into account a non-participation rate.
