1973 BUFFALO TRAVEL SURVEY: DESIGN, CONDUCT, AND PROCESSING

This report documents the design, conduct and processing of the travel surveys taken in the Niagara Frontier (Buffalo, New York) during the fall of 1973. For each three survey components (home-interview, opinion and external) the report describes design criteria and sample methods, survey conduct, processing and expansion of data, and representiveness of expanded survey results. A preliminary analysis is made of changes in trip rates, auto occupancy, and cordon-line crossings since 1962. Preliminary results show that (1) trip rates appear to have dropped slightly over the period; (2) vehicle occupancy has dropped considerably for shop trips, but dropped only slightly for work trips; (3) cordon-line volumes have increased significantly over 1962. /Author/
