Travel is an expression of an individual's behavior and it has the characteristics of being habitual. In addition, travel habits of different individuals on an aggregated basis are similar for work, shopping, social, recreation and other types of trips. Therefore, it is not necessary to obtain travel information from individuals for long periods of time; nor is it necessary to interview all travelers in order to determine their travel habits. These factors indicate that statistical methods can be used to sample travel in a study area, whether it is a single metropolitan area or an entire state. The present manual describes how such a representative sample will be selected for the Rhode Island update study. (Author)
