The focus of this initial study is on the role of distance and location in long-distance passenger travel and specifically how these affect mode choice. Distinguishing between short-and long-haul travel is one method for selecting a mode choice model structure. According to the literature, distances that define short-haul travel should exhibit competition among the modes, whereas long-haul travel distances will exhibit dominance of a single mode, generally air travel. In the literature, some values have been suggested [400 km (250 mi), 800 km (500 mi), 992 km (620 mi), etc.]. This study considers the mode shares for five states to determine ( a) if these values emerge to distinguish between competitive and noncompetitive mode share distance ranges and ( b) if competitive and noncompetitive mode share distance ranges are consistent across different states. The American Travel Survey (ATS), collected in 1995 by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is used.
