2017 National Household Travel Survey – Wisconsin Add-On
The Wisconsin add-on survey supplements the 2017 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) with additional household samples and detailed travel behavior for an assigned travel day.
Data Collection Agency
The Federal Highway Administration and Wisconsin Department of Transportation conducted the survey.
Methodology
The NHTS ran from April 19, 2016 through April 25, 2017. It collected data on the demographic and socioeconomic composition of households, as well as detailed information on travel behavior nationwide.
State transportation departments and metropolitan planning agencies had the opportunity to purchase extra household samples as part of the NHTS add-on program. These additional samples, along with national samples collected in the add-on areas, are compiled for use in transportation planning, forecasting, and research. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation participated in the NHTS add-on program and received a total of 11,675 household samples in Wisconsin. (The total number of household samples nationwide is 129,112.)
Survey Records
Survey records include 24,416 participants.
