Survey Results

The final report contains numerous result tables and statistics at the statewide level, while the appendices contain all of the regional results. A brief statewide summary is as follows:

• 15,033 households surveyed (0.6% of 2,547,075 Massachusetts households)
• 37,023 persons (0.6% of 6,547,629 Massachusetts 2010 population)
• 26,488 vehicles
• 190,215 places

Of all trips recorded statewide, approximately:

• 68.5% are by auto (as driver or passenger)
• 7.7% by transit (4% train, 3.6% bus, 0.1% ferry/boat)
• 20.1% by non-motorized (19% walk, 1.1% bicycle)

Note: A separate "trip" is considered made between all stops, so for example driving from home to work, but stopping at both day care and a gas station before getting to the office is counted as three trips, not one.
