Summary View help for Summary
The St. Louis Household Travel Survey, 2002, entailed the collection of weekday travel behavior characteristics of households residing in each of the eight counties that comprise the St. Louis region. In addition to collecting basic demographic and socioeconomic information about each household and its members, the survey documented specific characteristics of activities and trips made, including number and purpose of trips, trip duration, time of day, mode of transportation, and specifics of school and work-related travel. The survey instruments contained three components: (1) the recruitment questionnaire, (2) the travel log, and (3) the retrieval questionnaire. In total, 7,046 households were recruited to participate in the study via telephone interview. Of these 5,094 completed travel logs during a specific 24-hour period, and the information was retrieved from all household members, regardless of age. Demographic information for this study includes age, gender, education level, employment status, and household income.
