Background: In 2005, Congress passed, and the President signed, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU; Pub. L. 109–59). SAFETEA-LU contained a number of legislative mandates including providing data, statistics and analyses to transportation decision-makers. The Research and Innovative Technology Administration, Bureau of Transportation Statistics (RITA/BTS) was tasked to accomplish this legislative mandate under 49 U.S.C. 111(c)(1). RITA/BTS plans to use the Omnibus Household Survey (OHS) to: • Assess the public’s evaluation of the nation’s transportation system in light of the DOT’s strategic goals (safety, reduced congestion, global connectivity, environmental stewardship and security, preparedness and response), •Provide a vehicle for the operating administrations within the DOT as well as other governmental agencies, to survey the public about current transportation issues, and •Provide national estimates of transportation mode usage. Each version of the OHS will focus on some subset of topics taken from the list below. Topics may vary from survey to survey since covering all topics in one questionnaire would make the respondent burden unacceptable: Frequency of mode use in the month prior to the survey month: Commercial air, Privately-owned vehicle, Taxi, Light rail, Commuter rail, Public bus, Intercity Rail (Amtrak), Other modes such as biking and walking. Confidence in the safety of the following modes of transportation: Commercial air, Privately-owned vehicle, Taxi, Light rail, Commuter rail, Water transportation (taxis, ferries, ships), Public bus, Intercity Rail (Amtrak), Other modes such as biking/ walking/ferries.

Respondents: The population for the OHS Program is the noninstitutionalized population, aged 18 and older, who live in the United States. The sampling frame will be a listassisted random digit dialing (RDD) sample of U.S. residential telephone numbers. The sampling frame will be constructed to produce samples proportional to population density, resulting in nationally representative samples of residential telephone numbers. Individual survey respondents within selected households will be chosen at random. Estimated Average Burden per Response: The burden per respondent is estimated to be an average of 15 minutes based on calculations from previous data collections. Estimated Total Annual Burden: The total annual burden is estimated to be 250 hours (that is 15 minutes times 1000 respondents equals 15,000 minutes or 250 hours). Frequency: This survey is currently scheduled to be conducted yearly but may be conducted as much as 3 times per year based on data needs of agencies using the OHS for data collection.
