SINCE THE END OF WORLD WAR 2 RAPID CHANGES HAVE TAKEN PLACE BOTH IN THE LOCATIONAL PATTERN OF URBAN POPULATIONS AND IN URBAN TRANSPORTATION. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH REPORTED IN THIS PAPER IS TO ADD TO OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE FORCES AFFECTING URBAN GROWTH AND URBAN TRANSPORTATION BY INVESTIGATING DECISIONS OF PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS, WHICH, COLLECTIVELY, ARE PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT SOURCE OF DECISIONS IN THE CITY. THE RESEARCH RESTS ON A TOTAL OF 824 HOUR-LONG PERSONAL INTERVIEWS TAKEN IN THE FALL OF 1963 WITH A NATIONWIDE PROBABILITY SAMPLE OF FAMILIES LIVING IN STANDARD METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS EXCLUSIVE OF NEW YORK. / BECAUSE SOME QUESTIONS WERE UNANSWERED OR MORE THAN ONE ANSWER TO A QUESTION OCCURRED, RESPONSES IN THE TABULATED MATTER MAY DEVIATE FROM THE 824 TOTAL./ INTERVIEWS WERE TAKEN IN 33 AREAS. /AUTHOR/
