THIS REPORT PRESENTS DATA FROM THE LINKED-TRIP FILE OF THE TRI-STATE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION'S 1963-1964 HOME INTERVIEW SURVEY. IT ANALYZES THE ELAPSED TIME DURING A VEHICLE TRIP IN WHICH A PERSON WALKS FROM THE FINAL VEHICLE USED TO THE TRIP'S DESTINATION AND EXPLORES THIS WALK ELEMENT IN BOTH CBD AND NON-CBD AREAS. GENERAL RESULTS SHOW AN AVERAGE TIME WALKED FROM FINAL MODE TO DESTINATION IN THE SURVEY AREA OF 1.5 MIN. THIS VARIES WITH THE MODE LAST USED. TRIPS FROM AUTOMOBILE AND TAXICAB AVERAGE LESS WALK TIME THAN THOSE FROM MASS TRANSIT. MOST TRIPS INVOLVE LESS THAN A 5-MIN WALK AT THE DESTINATION END. VERY FEW EXCEED 10 MIN. FINAL WALKS TOTAL 40 MILLION MIN DAILY WITHIN THE REGION OUT OF A TOTAL OF MORE THAN 700 MILLION MIN OF VEHICLE TRIP TIME.
