Omnibus Household Survey (OHS) 2000-08 [supporting datasets]

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) conducts the Omnibus Household Survey (OHS) to monitor public expectations of and satisfaction with the transportation system and to gather event, issue, and mode-specific information. OHS, which is conducted annually, serves as an information source for the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) modal administrators to support congressional requests and to gauge internal DOT performance. Overall, OHS supports the collection of information on a wide range of transportation-related topics. Each round of OHS contains a set of core questions that are based on critical information needs within DOT. In addition, supplemental questions are included in each round to correspond to DOT’s five strategic goals: safety; reduced congestion; global connectivity; environmental stewardship; and security, preparedness, and response. Finally, specific questions posed by the various DOT modes are included in each survey. The OHS program was suspended in 2009. This dataset shows the results of the August 2000 OHS.
