Texas Travel Survey

TxDOT conducts travel surveys in urban areas across the state to obtain information about local travel patterns and needs. These surveys help TxDOT and their local partners make decisions about transportation projects that impact all of us. Data collection firms are contracted by TxDOT to conduct these surveys via the web, on smartphone apps, or in person at places of work, such as retailers, service providers, industrial facilities, and educational establishments.

For household surveys, TxDOT collects information about household size, income range, number of vehicles, and most importantly travel trip data during a weekday for a 24 hour period during the school year. Establishments collect data about entry and exit of customers and vehicles into a facility during the workday. They also have intercept surveys performed on staff and visitors which ask quick questions about their travel to and from the facility.
