The Modal Shift Report documents the results of the bi- or tri-annual travel diary study, which includes a travel survey and diary. This survey has been conducted since 1990 and asks representatives from more than a thousand households in the Boulder Valley to track all their trips greater than two blocks in length for a 24-hour period.
This report tracks changes in the number of trips, trip type and characteristics, and mode of travel used over the years for Boulder Valley residents. Trip characteristics are also compared to regional and national data and are reported by standard demographic characteristics such as age, sex, student, owner/renter, type of housing unit, income, and car, bike and EcoPass availability.
Data from the study helps inform city planning efforts and track progress to meet Transportation Master Plan goals.
