Abstract

An overview and options are presented for a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) strategy for sponsorship of and participation in transportation surveys conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The purpose is to provide a focus for discussion and debate on DOT's need for census data, on the current and future programs supporting these data-collecting activities, and on how DOT should best coordinate its efforts to meet its needs for census transportation data. Each of the surveys used within DOT is also described.
