The objective of this research was to examine the effects of higher transportation costs and energy shortages on the public's travel behavior patterns. Telephone interviews were conducted with 2,500 residents of the State of Washington. Residents of metropolitan, urban and rural areas were included. Travel to work, local travel, intermediate and long distance travel, recreational travel, use of public transit and vehicle ownership trends were topics covered in the interviews. The household's travel patterns two years prior to the interview, as well as current behavior and future plans were included.
