Abstract

The Portland Household Travel Survey was conducted under the auspices of the Oregon Department of Transportation to provide information suitable for gaining an in-depth understanding of the activity and travel behavior of both households in metropolitan areas and the individuals within those households. The first round of surveys collected household activity data from the four metropolitan planning organization areas around Portland, plus three extra counties (Marion, Polk, and Yamhill). A total of 11,762 households participated in this study. Each household member was asked to record any activity that lasted 30 minutes or longer, or any activity that required travel for the specified 48-hour period.
