TRAVELER INFORMATION NEEDS

The study was to determine from data collected over a four-month period the range and volume of traveler information requests at Dulles International Airport, Union Station, and the National Visitor Center (NVC) in the Washington, D.C. area. This study identifies: sources of available traveler-related information, hindrances to travelers which are transportation related, and information needs of travelers, especially the inexperienced traveler and the international visitor. The final objective is to provide guidance and recommendations as to the form and nature of a future, more centralized traveler information system.
