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.
