Texas Travel Survey
TxDOT conducts travel surveys in urban areas across the state to obtain information about local travel patterns and needs. These surveys help TxDOT and their local partners make decisions about transportation projects that impact all of us. Data collection firms are contracted by TxDOT to conduct these surveys via the web, on smartphone apps, or in person at places of work, such as retailers, service providers, industrial facilities, and educational establishments.
