Special Population Groups Travel behavior of immigrants: An analysis of the 2001 National Household Transportation Survey Authors: Tal, Gil; Handy, Susan Transport Policy Issue: 2 3/1/2010 Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between travel behavior and immigrant status. The National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) allows us to explore the relationships between travel behavior and characteristics that are usually hard to discern in surveys with smaller samples. The correlation between travel behavior and immigrant characteristics such as place of birth and year of immigration in the US was tested while controlling for spatial and socio-demographic variables. The effects of place of birth and year of arriving to the US were found to be significant for some places of birth and for immigrants who entered the US in recent years. Understanding the differences in travel behavior and the possible explanations for these differences can help in modeling travel demand, finding policies best suited to meeting the travel needs of foreign-born communities, and addressing environmental justice concerns.

Special Population Groups Active Adult (55) Community Trip Generation Rates Authors: Racca, David P University of Delaware, Newark - Delaware Center for Transportation Newark, DE 19716 ; Delaware Department of Transportation - 800 Bay Road Dover, DE 19903 Monograph 4/1/2006 Abstract: In response to the growing number of applications for the development of age restricted communities (55 years old and older) the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) through the Delaware Center for Transportation sponsored this study to examine trip generation characteristics and traffic impacts. Goals of the study include: Identify for the general Delaware population what the household structure and travel characteristics are for people 55 and older, and examine how household structure changes with age; Acquire available data to describe the household structures in age-restricted communities and compare households in age-restricted communities with similar households outside of such communities; Research current literature and data on travel characteristics of those in age-restricted communities across the country; Identify any Delaware specific information that would be available to describe travel characteristics of age-restricted communities; and Describe the number of age-restricted communities in Delaware and features that make them different from traditional housing developments, and examine the types of facilities offered to residents and how that might affect trip generation. National trip generation estimates, as available through the Institute of Transportation Engineers, and local traffic studies were reviewed. Current and proposed 55 communities as compared with the general population. National travel data as provided by the National Personal Travel Survey was used to provide further information. This study produced a flexible model to assist planners in judging the impacts of age restricted communities.
