California Travel Trends and Demographics Study

Abstract

This report presents an analysis of past transportation and population trends in California in order to look at the possible consequences of future infrastructure and development policies. The purpose of this project was to provide high-quality population forecasts with substantial geographic and demographic detail, and to understand how demographic and land use changes in the state will affect future travel demand. The report presents and interprets key findings of research on travel behavior, demographics, and urban form. It describes the existing population and current travel patterns in California, and then develops an empirical travel model that quantifies relationships between individual travel behavior and demographic and land use variables. The report next describes population projection modeling methods and describes statewide results. The results of the empirical travel model are athen pplied to the population projections in order to project travel demand trends.
