1981 SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA TRAVEL SURVEY
Household travel data constitute a major cornerstone of regional transportation planning analysis. But many household travel data sets in use today are more than 10 years old, and cost considerations have deterred many areas from updating these data. The planning, design, and conduct of a household-interview travel study in the San Francisco Bay Area in the spring of 1981 are described. Household and travel information was collected by telephone from 7200 households in the nine-county jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. Telephone interviewing proved to be a cost-effective method for conducting household interviews. The sample gave good geographic coverage and provided a good representation of the population groups in the Bay Area.
