1995 American Travel Survey
The American Travel Survey (ATS) was conducted by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics,
U.S. Department of Transportation, to obtain information about the long-distance travel of persons
living in the United States. Approximately 80,000 randomly selected households were interviewed
for the survey, which collected information about all trips of 100 miles or more, one-way, taken by
household members in 1995. The ATS data provide detailed information on state-to-state travel, as
well as travel to and from metropolitan areas by mode of transportation.
For additional information about the American Travel Survey, contact the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics at (202) 366-3282 or visit the following Internet site: www.bts.gov/ats.
New data on long-distance travel will be available in late 2003 from the 2001 National Household
Travel Survey at nhts.ornl.gov.
