Abstract

The 2005 Tahoe Regional Household Travel Survey is a comprehensive survey of the travel patterns of households in the Tahoe Basin region of California and Nevada. The survey was conducted for the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency over a four-month period, from June through September 2005. This collection contains two sets of travel data: 1) a survey of 1,220 permanent households within the Tahoe Basin region and 2) a subset survey of 125 seasonal households within the same area. The permanent resident dataset contains information about 2,732 household members, 2,471 vehicles, and 11,048 trips made during a 24-hour period. The seasonal resident subset features 726 trip observations and information about 229 household members and 185 vehicles. The survey relied on the willingness of study area residents to 1) provide demographic information about their household, its members, and its vehicles and 2) document all travel for each household member, regardless of age, over an assigned 24-hour period. During the recruitment phase, respondents were asked to provide detailed household information, including permanent or seasonal resident status, number of household occupants, type of dwelling unit, number of vehicles available to household members, as well as the year, body type, and fuel type of eachmore »« less
