1 Travel Characteristics on Weekends: Implications for Planning and Policy Making Ram M. Pendyala Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of South Florida, Tampa Ashish Agarwal Cambridge Systematics, Cambridge, MA National Household Travel Survey Conference November 1-2, 2004 Washington, D.C.

2 Introduction Focus of travel demand analysis: Weekday travel behavior (typical) Weekday peak period travel demand Strategies to alleviate weekday peak period congestion Travel surveys heavily oriented towards weekday trip data collection Little attention, if any, paid to weekend travel demand characteristics

3 Motivation Growing congestion on weekends Different nature and spatial-temporal characteristics of trips on weekends Meeting people s weekend travel needs Infrastructure Strategies and policies Address explicitly in planning process

4 Motivation NCHRP 365 resource for estimating travel demand in urban areas Based on 1990 NPTS data Provides detailed travel demand characteristics for weekdays Update information using 2001 NHTS and supplement weekday information with weekend data

5 2001 NHTS: Sample Characteristics Characteristic Households Persons Hhld Size Auto Ownership # Drivers % Sngl Fam DU % $25K-$55K % MSA > 1 mil % Zero Travel Weekday 14,470 (60.6 mil) 32,917 (153.9 mil) % 35.5% 66% 5.8% Weekend 5,318 (24.8 mil) 12,262 (63.3 mil) % 36.0% 65% 8.4%

17 Daily Activity and Travel Durations (min) Category Subsistence Maintenance Recreational Social Weekday Activity Travel Weekend Activity Travel

18 Weekend Travel Demand Weekend travel behavior characterized by: Larger amounts of non-work travel Longer trip lengths, but shorter trip durations Lower levels of daily VMT and PMT Substantially lower SOV and higher HOV mode shares (higher auto occupancy rates) Flat and wide midday peak in temporal distribution Noticeable differences between weekday and weekend travel

19 Conclusions NHTS is a powerful resource for analyzing/ modeling weekend travel demand Special considerations for weekend travel modeling: Time of day distribution Auto occupancy joint trip making Activity type choice Location choice Activity duration to travel duration ratio Explore trip chaining patterns in detail

20 Implications Development of parallel stream of weekend activity-travel models Interdependency between weekday and weekend activity and travel engagement Towards models of weekly (or multiday) activity-travel behavior Consideration for making NHTS a multiday travel survey weekend and weekday data

21 Policy Considerations Land use transport infrastructure, travel choices, and public health Social and recreational activity engagement higher on weekends; greater scope for active living Examine auto dependency on weekends Equity/access considerations access to jobs Weekend travel greater proportion that offers positive utility? Congestion mitigation in non-work locations
