Sacramento Area Council of Governments's 1991 Household Travel Survey

The Sacramento Area Council of Governments's 1991 Household Travel Survey was conducted in conjunction with the California State Department of Transportation, and provides a detailed survey of travel behavior of 3,942 households in the Sacramento region. The region includes all of Sacramento, Yolo, Yuba, and Sutter counties, as well as the western portions of Placer and El Dorado counties. The purpose of the survey was to obtain up-to-date information on the socioeconomic, demographic, and travel characteristics of the population. During their travel day, participating household members were asked to record travel information in a diary for the specified 24-hour period. The information documented by respondents includes trip activities, mode of transportation, trip times, and trip location. Demographic information includes gender, age, employment status, household income, and household size, as well as whether the respondent held a valid driver's license, whether the respondent was a student, and whether the respondent owned or rented a home.
