The 2000-2001 California Statewide Household Travel Survey was conducted to update the database and will be used to help refine travel estimates, models, and forecasts throughout the State. The resultant data set will be used to estimate and forecast trip generation and distribution, mode choice, and assignments, as well as for vehicle emissions analyses and estimates. The 2000-2001 survey was conducted between October 2000 and December 2001 among households located in each of the 58 counties throughout the State. A total of 17,040 households participated in the survey. Household socioeconomic data gathered in this survey includes information on household size, income, vehicle ownership, employment status of each household member, and housing unit type among other data. Travel information was also collected including trip times, mode, activity at location, origin and destination, and vehicle occupancy among other travel-related data. The survey was conducted among randomly selected households using the telephone recruitment/diary mailout/ telephone trip retrieval method. The statistics presented in this report are adjusted for trip under reporting as determined by the Global Positioning System (GPS) analysis. Tables, appendices, 75 p
