Trends in Travel Content: 2008 New and Improved Data
Shopping by Internet and deliveries to the household
Frequency of self-employed and work at home instead of traveling to workplace
Flexibility of arrival time at work Vehicle Make and model, whether hybrid or alternate fuel used
Travel to school detail to support Safe Routes to School program
Whether trip included travel on freeway/interstate and whether a toll was paid

Trend Issue: Fleet Penetration and use of Hybrid/Alternative fuel Vehicles
Since 1969 we have collected fleet characteristics (make/model/age of vehicle)
Since 2001, added value of vehicle efficiency (mpg) and gas cost
2008, added Hybrid and alternate fuel use
