Household Travel Survey

The Transportation Planning Board (TPB) at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) has conducted a survey of 11,000 households in the Washington region and adjacent areas to gather updated information on area wide travel patterns. This data will help guide future transportation planning as the area continues to grow and assist local governments in figuring out which transportation improvements will benefit their citizens the most. The Washington region is among the fastest growing areas in the country. With more jobs and people coming to the area all the time, the impacts on our burdened highway and public transportation systems are felt by all of us.

Results of the Survey

Staff are currently processing the data and will be making a public use file available in late summer of 2009. If you have questions about the survey or the file, please contact Clara Reschovsky by email or by phone: 202-962-3332.
