Thank you to all of the nearly 2,000 households in our region that participated in the survey! One interesting finding from the 2018 survey was that shopping trips represented only 9.2% of all trips, down from 21.2% in 2008. Work trips in the 2018 survey also declined to 11.4% of all trips, down from 15.9% in 2008.
Car trips took an average of 19.8 minutes, much faster than both the 61.5 minutes that bus trips and 84.0 minutes that train trips averaged, indicating substantial room for improving public transit. The complete Final Draft of the 2018 Household Travel Survey can be found here
