The National Research Council of the National Academies appointed a study committee under the auspices of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Committee on National Statistics to develop ways to meet the needs for public and private transportation policy analysis and decision making. The results of this study are reported in TRB Special Report 304, "How We Travel: A Sustainable National Program for Travel Data," which recommends a federally sponsored National Travel Data Program built on a core of essential travel data and integrated with data collected by states, metropolitan planning organizations, transit and other local agencies, and the private sector. The data would support public and private transportation policy analysis and decision making on multimillion-dollar investments.
