The Broward Travel Characteristics Study was initiated in February 1996 to identify localized socioeconomic and travel characteristics that could be used to improve the travel forecasting accuracy of the Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model System for Broward County. The survey recruited 2,625 households. Of these, 880 households completed the survey, indicating household demographic and socioeconomic characteristics (household verification survey). 33% of the households also completed a Direct Utility Assessment survey used to estimate the propensity for using transit. A total of 1,651 daily trips were extracted from the travel log survey over a 2-week period.
