The two most important societal trends today are the aging baby boom and womens increased independence. This paper compares the travel profiles of women aged 40 to 49 (early baby boomers) with women aged 75 and over and with men aged 75 and over (parents of the baby boom) to estimate the impact of an aging population on vehicle ownership rates and vehicle miles traveled. This report analyzes travel behavior by age and sex with reference to licensing status, education, household headship, income, race, and ethnicity. Access to vehicles is examined in addition to four measures of mobility (person trips, person miles, vehicle trips, and vehicle miles per day). Weighted data from the 1995 NPTS person files are based on all trips (weekday and weekend) of 75 miles or less.
