2002 Maricopa Regional Household Travel Survey

The Maricopa Regional Household Travel Survey was conducted by NuStats from February through December 2001 under the auspices of the Maricopa Association of Governments. The purpose of the survey was to obtain information related to travel behavior. The study objective was to produce data that could be used to develop and calibrate travel demand models for use in travel forecasting and air quality planning. A total of 5,478 households were recruited to participate in the study, and travel information was gathered from all household members regardless of age in Maricopa County and a small portion of Pinal County. Of these, 4,018 households (73%) completed travel diaries, representing 10,030 people, 6,589 vehicles, and 78,511 places visited during the 48-hour travel period.
