Steps to participating
1. Download the App
2. Complete the Survey
3. Get Rewarded
For the Household Travel Study and Assessment, we are seeking to collect household travel data from all members of your family to gain insights into travel patterns in the region. For every household member who participates using the smartphone application, "American Travel Survey," a $20 gift card will be awarded. Additionally, a $5 reward will be given to each family member who participates in the survey without using the app. For example, if your household has five members, and three use the app while two do not, your total household reward would be $70.
PAG develops various transportation plans, including a federally required, long-range regional transportation plan. This plan identifies anticipated projects and anticipated funding sources for improvements to the regional transportation network over a 25- to 30-year period. Improvements may include freeways, regional corridors, bus and rail, bike paths and sidewalks, and ridesharing. The data gathered from this survey will help inform long-term regional transportation planning and regional air quality.
