Abstract: AS CITY SIZE BECOMES LARGER, THE INDIVIDUAL NONWORK TRAVEL DEMANDS OF RESIDENTS BECOME MORE SIGNIFICANT IN COMPARISON WITH THOSE OF SMALLER CITIES AND AREAS. IN 1964, A STUDY WAS CONDUCTED IN INDIANAPOLIS TO COMPARE TRAVEL PATTERNS MANIFEST IN ASSIGNED TRAFFIC FOR WORK TRIPS WITH THOSE FOR ALL TRIP PURPOSES. THE CORRELATIONS PROVED HIGH AND SIGNIFICANT. ON THE BASIS OF THIS FINDING, A THEORY WAS DEVELOPED---AND TESTED WITH GOOD RESULTS---THAT IF A GOOD BASIC MAJOR STREET SYSTEM IS PROVIDED, IT WILL PROVIDE TRAVEL SERVICE FOR TRIPS OF ALL PURPOSES. THE USE OF CENSUS TRIP-TO-WORK DATA FOR SMALL-AREA TRAVEL FORECASTING AND TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, INCLUDING MODE SELECTION, IS DESCRIBED BRIEFLY.
