Atlanta Household Travel Survey, 2001

The Atlanta Household Travel Survey sampled 8,069 households in the thirteen-county metropolitan Atlanta region. The survey relied on the willingness of area residents to complete diary records of all travel for a 48-hour period. Household recruitment for the study was conducted through the use of a recruitment interview, in which respondents were informed of the survey, its purpose, and the obligation of all household members to complete the survey. The 8,069 participating households, when weighted, represent 21,323 persons, 14,449 vehicles, and 126,127 places visited during the 48-hour travel period. Data were collected on trip generation, trip distribution, modal choice, transit use, neighborhood preferences, and trip activities. Household data includes demographic information such as household size, household vehicles, dwelling type, home ownership status, tenure, and computer ownership. Also included are summary statistics regarding the number of workers, students, and trips made during the 48-hour travel period. Person data includes demographic information about the household members, student data, employment data for first and second jobs, and health related information.
