Abstract/Summary:

The workshop focused on the use of National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) data to inform transportation decision making on key issues such as energy use, congestion, highway finance, and safety. The presentation by Dr. Valerie Karplus was in the session on "Understanding Alternative Fuel Vehicle Demand", which examined the nation's current and future demand for alternative fuel vehicles through the NHTS data lens. Given the growing importance of low-emissions vehicle analyses in planning and policymaking, the capability of an expanding set of data users both in the private and public sector to use NHTS data for such studies becomes increasingly important.
