State and metropolitan transportation planning organizations rely on the data from the decennial census for a broad array of applications. Data from the long-form census questionnaire, which includes questions covering place of work, mode of transportation to work, carpooling, travel time and time of departure to work, vehicles available, and mobility limitations are used for planning and modeling travel behavior. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, and the Americans with Disabilities Act all increase the transportation planning requirements and related data requirements of states and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs).
