Use this diary on your assigned travel day, shown on the front.
The travel day starts at 4:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 a.m. the next day.
A trip is whenever you travel from one address to another. Use one line to record each trip. Include:
• All trips you made for a specific reason, such as to go to work or school, buy gas, or drop someone off.
• Return trips, such as coming home from work or school.
• Walks, jogs, bike rides, and short drives. If you started and ended in the same place, list the farthest point you reached and record a
return trip.
• Do not include stops just to change the type of transportation.
• Record all of your child's trips on the child's diary, including the trips that were not taken with an adult member of your household, such
as riding the school bus.
If you made more than ten trips as part of your job (examples: a cab driver, delivery person, police officer):
• Don't record the trips that were made as part of your job.
• Do record the trips that got you to and from your work place.
• Do record all other trips that were not part of your job.
If you made more trips than will fit on the diary, record the rest on a blank sheet of paper.
