Web Version     CTDOT is Announcing the Start of the 2024 Connecticut Daily Travel Survey This Fall Posted on September 3 , 2024 The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is launching a major travel survey to better understand how people travel throughout the state. This travel survey will request information from several thousand households about their daily travel habits, asking people where, how far and how often they travel and what modes they use – whether driving, using public transportation, biking or walking. These trips will include those made for work, school, shopping, errands, and socializing with family and friends. "The ways people travel and how often they travel have changed dramatically over the last several years. The Daily Travel Survey will help provide the data we need to make future transportation investments at the right time," said Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto. "We are improving lives through transportation and the residents of Connecticut are partners with us on this journey. I encourage everyone who receives a survey to take part." As technologies evolve and travel behaviors have changed over the last few years, transportation planners are collecting current travel data to inform future transportation investments and prioritize improvements. The new survey is a statewide project sponsored by the CTDOT, the Federal Highway Administration, and local planning organizations throughout the state. The last travel survey was completed in 2016. If you would like to see the data from that survey, it can be found at CT Statewide Transportation Study Completed. Approximately 7,500 households in the state of Connecticut are expected to participate in this travel survey between September and December 2024. Randomly selected households will be invited to participate by a mailed invitation. While this survey is not currently open to volunteers, please respond if you receive an invitation. Invitations will be sent in waves over the next several weeks. Invited households have the option to complete the survey online, by phone, or through a smartphone app (rMove™) developed by the project consultant, Resource Systems Group (RSG). When complete, this survey will help CTDOT plan for a more efficient, equitable, and accessible transportation system. The survey results are expected to be released in Spring 2025.
