NHTS Transferability Home

Introduction

Transferability refers to the transferability of the 2001 Nationwide Household Travel Survey (NHTS) results to the regional or local level.
Transferability is based on a methodology for using the NHTS data to estimate regional or local travel, including vehicle trips (VT), vehicle miles of travel (VMT), person trips (PT), and person miles of travel (PMT) by trip purposes.
Such information can be used by transportation planners and analysts in their transportation planning process.
NHTS Transferability is a GIS-based tool to enable users to download Trip Generation Rate information at the Census Tract or Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) level.
Output datasets are created for the selected Census Tracts and TAZs in Excel spreadsheet and ESRI shape file formats.
