Household Travel Survey: Baltimore Region, 2001 (ICPSR 34678)
Released/updated on: 2013-07-02
Geographic coverage: Baltimore, United States, Maryland
Time period: 2001-01-01--2001-12-01
Approximately every 5 years, the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) conducts a national household survey that is used to measure demographic and household travel characteristics used to evaluate national policies and assist researchers in understanding emerging travel trends. The USDOT allows states, local jurisdictions and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) to purchase additional local samples. The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB), the designated MPO for the Baltimore metropolitan area, agreed to participate in the 2001 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) as an add-on. The NHTS would also allow the household travel within the Baltimore region to be compared to similar urban areas across the country, since all survey data and add-ons are collected in a similar fashion. The household survey was mainly focused on weekday travel, collecting a one day travel itinerary from 3,131 Baltimore region households. A smaller survey of 325 households was also sampled to obtain weekend travel behavior. Traditionally, travel activity has been focused on weekday travel associated with commuting as a primary concern. Recently, non-work related travel has rivaled commuting with some locations in the Baltimore region having the greatest one hour peak volume on weekends. A smaller weekend sample was selected to start the process of understanding the travel choices being made and to establish a baseline to measure change. Demographic variables include the respondent's age, sex, employment status, occupation, education level, household income, place of birth, relationship to the reference person, whether the respondent is a licensed driver, and whether respondents have a medical condition.

Indiana Outdoor Recreation Survey, 1976 (ICPSR 7805)
Released/updated on: 2010-04-30
The purpose of this 1976 telephone survey was to provide Indiana's planners, legislators, and decision-makers with information on Indiana residents' outdoor recreation preferences. The resulting data collection contains information for 5,888 respondents representing 25 state regions and the state as a whole. Variables measure general satisfaction with Indiana's outdoor recreational facilities, outdoor recreational activities engaged in (including with whom, how often, and most popular activity), where activities took place (both in state and out of state), and the importance of 24 factors influencing the decision to select those activities (e.g., time availability, physical exercise, relaxation, and cost). In addition, the data provide socioeconomic and background information on the respondents, e.g., location, years of Indiana residence, community size, sex, age, marital status, race, household size, occupation, occupation prestige score, vacation days, family income, and spouse's age, education, and occupation.

Part 1 contains data for 601 active skiers, e.g., preferences for, skill level, and number of years experience in downhill and cross-country skiing, the locations (both within and outside the United States) where respondents had skied, number of days skied in the past season, type and duration of ski vacations, and total days skiing over the past five years. Other data include projected increase or decrease in participation level, attitude toward cost of ski-related items, and whether cost had kept respondents from skiing. Part 2 contains more data gathered from the same group of active skiers, including preferences for skiing alone or with others, adequacy of ski facilities, and images of downhill skiing. This file also supplies respondent background information, e.g., age, sex, marital status, employment of spouse, number of children, occupation, number of times moved in last five years, place of residence, income, and education. Part 3 contains data for 676 inactive skiers, with the same variables as Part 1, plus data for the number of years since last skied, reasons for not skiing since then, and when resumption of skiing would occur. This file also records inactive skiers' preferences for skiing alone or with others, adequacy of ski facilities, and images of downhill skiing. Part 4 contains background data gathered from the 676 inactive skiers. Part 5 provides data on 1,003 potential skiers, e.g., interest in skiing, readership about and television viewing of skiing, members of the family who had ever skied, reasons for not taking up skiing, whether cost was a contributing factor for not skiing, adequacy of ski facilities, attitude toward the cost of ski-related items, images of downhill skiing, and ownership of various recreational equipment. Part 6 contains additional data for the same group of potential skiers, e.g., recreational activities respondents would choose to participate in and states where respondents would choose to ski. The same types of background information collected in Parts 2 and 4 are contained in this file as well.

Outdoor Recreation Survey, 1977: Federal Estate Survey (ICPSR 7680)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
This data collection contains survey responses gathered by the United States Department of the Interior's Bureau of Outdoor Recreation in the summer of 1977 from visitors to 153 federal land management areas, and during the following fall and winter when individuals were queried at 35 additional areas. The purposes of the study were to determine the importance of outdoor recreation to the American people, patterns of recreational land use, trends in recreation, the users of federal land, and the deterrents, satisfactions, and preferences for outdoor recreation. People who were interviewed ranged from urbanites out for an afternoon at New York City Gateway National Recreation Area to backpackers returning from a two-week adventure in the Bitterroot Wilderness of the Nezperce National Forest in Idaho. Respondents were asked to report which activities among a list of 30 they had participated in during the last 12 months, which ones they planned to participate in during the current trip, and which they hoped to take part in in the next 12 months. They also were asked the purpose of their current trip, their level of satisfaction with their experiences so far, suggested improvements to the specific recreation area, their opinions of the importance of outdoor recreation in general, the importance they placed on having outdoor recreation facilities within walking distance and within one hour's driving distance, the impact of the price of gasoline on the number and duration of auto trips taken to outdoor recreation areas, and preferences for allocation of federal recreation funds in the future. Personal information includes respondents' age, sex, race, highest level of schooling completed, occupation, income, urban or rural residence, and state of residence. The United States Department of the Interior also conducted a separate but related telephone survey during the same year on a national sample of respondents (see OUTDOOR RECREATION SURVEY, 1977: GENERAL POPULATION SURVEY [ICPSR 7679]). The primary reason for conducting two separate studies was to ensure representative samples for comparing recreation characteristics of the entire citizenry of the United States with those who pursue recreational activities on federal land.

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: United States
This data collection is one in a series of financial surveys of consumers conducted annually since 1946. In a nationally representative sample, the head of each family unit was interviewed. Starting in 1966, in order to examine the effect that increased car ownership was having on American families, the data collected in this series were organized so that they could be analyzed by both family unit and car unit. The 1971 data are based on car unit. Survey questions regarding automobiles included number of drivers and car owners in the family, make and model of each car, purchase method, car financing and installment debt, and expectations of car purchases in the coming year. Other questions in the 1971 survey covered the respondent's attitudes toward national economic conditions (e.g., the effect of United States relations with Vietnam, Cambodia, and in the Middle East, inflation and unemployment on United States business) and price activity, as well as the respondent's own financial situation. Other questions examined the family unit head's occupation, and the nature and amount of the family's income, debts, liquid assets, changes in liquid assets, savings, investment preferences, and actual and expected purchases of major durables. In addition, the survey explored the subject of housing and neighborhood characteristics. Questions in this survey also focused on credit card use and purchases. Personal data include age and education of head, household composition, political affiliation, and occupation.
