Panel on the Review of Bureau of Transportation Statistics' Survey Programs
________________________________________________________________________
Background
The Panel on the Review of Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ Survey Programs was convened by the Committee on National Statistics, National Research Council, in January 2002. Joseph L. Schofer chairs the panel. He is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Civil Engineering at Northwestern University, and Director of Research at Northwestern's Transportation Center.
The committee will review the current survey programs of the Bureau of Transportation Statistics in light of transportation data needs for policy planning and research, and in light of the characteristics and functions of an effective statistical agency. For each of the three major surveys -- the National Household Travel Survey, the Omnibus Survey, and the Commodity Flow Survey -- the committee will issue a letter report recommending approaches that BTS can use to meet the needs of the variety of different data users over time. Major themes and cross-cutting guidance will be offered in a final report.
