National Household Travel Survey

Conducted by the Federal Highway Administration, the NHTS is the authoritative source on the travel behavior of the American public. It is the only source of national data that allows one to analyze trends in personal and household travel. It includes daily non-commercial travel by all modes, including characteristics of the people traveling, their household, and their vehicles.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has launched the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS). The survey will be conducted from November 2024 to November 2025. Households will be sampled using a scientific process and those selected to participate in the survey will receive details in the mail. For more information, please go to NHTS2024.com.
