The subarea surveys are a follow-on to the 2007-2008 TPB Regional Household Travel Survey. The purpose of the surveys are to:

• Analyze daily travel behavior in communities with different densities, physical characteristics and transportation options
• Assist local planners with current local land use and transportation planning efforts
• Build a household travel survey database that can measure changes in local community travel behavior over a period of time (before and after comparisons)
