Metropolitan Travel Survey Archive Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The Metropolitan Travel Survey Archive is a project to store, preserve, and make publicly available, via the internet, travel surveys conducted by metropolitan areas, states and localities.To date the project has collected over 50 surveys from 28 metropolitan areas which can be downloaded by users.
The motivation behind the archive is to forestall the loss of electronic files and documentation of surveys, which has befallen previous surveys. These surveys are both costly to conduct, and irreplaceable as it is impossible to reconstruct past records of human travel behavior.
