The NHTS is the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (USDOT) nationally representative data source for
daily local passenger travel. This inventory of travel behavior
reflects travel mode (private vehicle, public transportation,
pedestrian and cycling) and trip purpose (travel to work, school,
recreation, and personal/family trips) by U.S. household residents.
Survey results are used by federal and state agencies to monitor
the performance and adequacy of current facilities and
infrastructure, and to plan for future needs. Data from the NHTS
are included in broader, bi-annual reports to Congress on the
performance of the surface transportation system.
The NextGen NHTS design was
modified from prior NHTS surveys in 2022 with respect to (1) fewer
questions asked, (2) smaller sample fielded, and (3) implementation
of a biennial data collection cycle.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
