P9.4 Urban Travel CIzaracierislics Database Mode Multimodal Abstract This informational report contains data on Urban Travel characteristics for twelve U.S. Urban areas. The database is designed to be used for a variety of purposes. Planners in one urban area may desire to compare local travel characteristics with one or more similar urban areas. Or, lacking data on a particular characteristic of travel, an urban area may need to "borrow" a parameter from another. Researchers may use the database to test hypotheses about regional variations in travel behavior.
