The committee focuses on all types of transportation surveys, including:
- motorized and non-motorized travel;
- household and commercial travel;
- travel involving single or multiple occupancy vehicles, including public transit; and
- workplace, visitor, or recreational travel.
The committee is concerned with survey design, sampling, instrument development, data collection, processing,
and analysis, and reporting of results. Enhancing the quality and usefulness of survey products for policy and
planning is of primary interest.
