The 2006 Transportation Tomorrow Survey
The 2006 Transportation Tomorrow Survey (TTS) is a telephone interview of a random sampling of 5% of the households in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and surrounding area of Central Ontario (approximately 150,000 households). It involves asking the survey participants about trip information for each household member. The results are used to form a comprehensive picture of travel in the survey area.
The survey will be conducted in the areas outside the GTA, starting in September and end in late November of 2005. The GTA will be surveyed during the same period in 2006. All survey work will be completed by late 2006.
Expansion of survey records and data validation will be carried out using 2006 Census household numbers starting in 2007. Final data results from the TTS should be available by December 2007.
The TTS survey has been carried out on a 5-year cycle since 1986. It has been conducted as an ongoing partnership arrangement between the Province and 18 municipalities and agencies, and the University of Toronto. Since its inception, the Data Management Group (DMG) of the University of Toronto has undertaken management responsibility for all TTS surveying and data management. DMG then maintains the data on an ongoing basis for access by all partners.
Household Travel Surveys on the WWW
The purpose of this page is to provide links to State Department of Transportation and Metropolitan Planning Organization web sites related to household travel surveys. The intent is to provide easy access to travel survey reports and data. This page is a project of the Transportation Research Board's (TRB) Committee on Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems (ABJ30). This web page is a "work in progress" so please help the committee by providing updated and new links!
Metropolitan and State Travel Surveys on the WWW, 1994-2003
Surveys are important resources that provide us with valuable information about travel preferences or change in travel behavior of people, over a period of time, across the population. Surveys entail large investment both in terms of time and money. In order to maintain these valuable resources the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the Federal Highway Administration, both part of United States Department of Transportation, have funded a project at the University of Minnesota to develop a Metropolitan Travel Survey Archive to store, preserve, and make publicly available, via the internet, travel surveys conducted by metropolitan areas, states and localities.
Work has continued on the project over the past three years and as a result of cooperation from several agencies, we now have been able to post databases along with relevant documentation for many regions, see ARCHIVE. The databases and the documentation can be obtained from this website. In addition to making these databases publicly available, we are also in the process of converting all the databases to a common format to enhance the readability and usability of each survey, so many surveys can be used online, see ANALYZE.
Unfortunately, to the best of our knowledge, data for some of the surveys seems to have been lost. Further, there exist surveys for which we still have not been able to obtain data. We have listed these surveys as SOUGHT. We would be extremely grateful if you could help us locate data for the lost and sought surveys or for others that have not been listed on the website.
The results from the first year of the project, along with issues related to archiving travel survey data are provided in our REPORT 1. The results from the second year of the project, along with issues related to archiving travel survey data are provided in our REPORT 2.Archives of key papers by travel survey researcher Yacov ZAHAVI are also provided here.
