This project focused specifically on design treatments that can be used to improve travel time reliability. The objectives of this research were to (1) identify the full range of possible roadway design features used by transportation agencies to improve travel time reliability and reduce delays from key causes of nonrecurrent congestion, (2) assess their costs and operational and safety effectiveness, and (3) provide recommendations for their use and eventual incorporation into appropriate design guides. This research generated two companion products that allow transportation agencies and professionals to apply these research findings effectively in daily practice. These products are the Design Guide for Addressing Nonrecurrent Congestion, which is a catalogue of the design elements and their associated use information, and the Analysis Tool for Design Treatments to Address Nonrecurring Congestion, which is a tool to execute the various analysis procedures and models to measure the effectiveness of a design element on travel time reliability. This zip file contains comma separated value (.csv) files of data to support SHRP 2 Report S2-L07-RR-1, Identification and Evaluation of the Cost-Effectiveness of Highway Design Features to Reduce Nonrecurrent Congestion, https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/4040 The compressed zip file is 12 MB. These files can be unzipped using any zip compression/decompression software. The .csv files can be read with any basic text editor.

How many people are staying at home? How far are people traveling when they don’t stay home? Which states and counties have more people taking trips? The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) now provides answers to those questions through our new mobility statistics.
The Trips by Distance data and number of people staying home and not staying home are estimated for the Bureau of Transportation Statistics by the Maryland Transportation Institute and Center for Advanced Transportation Technology Laboratory at the University of Maryland. The travel statistics are produced from an anonymized national panel of mobile device data from multiple sources. All data sources used in the creation of the metrics contain no personal information. Data analysis is conducted at the aggregate national, state, and county levels. A weighting procedure expands the sample of millions of mobile devices, so the results are representative of the entire population in a nation, state, or county. To assure confidentiality and support data quality, no data are reported for a county if it has fewer than 50 devices in the sample on any given day.
Trips are defined as movements that include a stay of longer than 10 minutes at an anonymized location away from home. Home locations are imputed on a weekly basis. A movement with multiple stays of longer than 10 minutes before returning home is counted as multiple trips. Trips capture travel by all modes of transportation. including driving, rail, transit, and air.
The daily travel estimates are from a mobile device data panel from merged multiple data sources that address the geographic and temporal sample variation issues often observed in a single data source. The merged data panel only includes mobile devices whose anonymized location data meet a set of data quality standards, which further ensures the overall data quality and consistency. The data quality standards consider both temporal frequency and spatial accuracy of anonymized location point observations, temporal coverage and representativeness at the device level, spatial representativeness at the sample and county level, etc. A multi-level weighting method that employs both device and trip-level weights expands the sample to the underlying population at the county and state levels, before travel statistics are computed.
Pre-2020 backfill data are now available for all days going back through January 1, 2019.

As our highway infrastructure continues to age, there is the imperative need to renew the entire network while keeping it operational. Moreover, many highway corridors and regional networks are becoming ever more congested. As a result there is an increasing need to (1) examine various construction alternatives within those corridors and networks to determine the potential disruption and/or benefit that alternative renewal activities may have over time, and (2) examine the effect of constructing multiple corridors concurrently or in sequence. Without an evaluation of the various construction alternatives during the program and project development process, negative impacts on the traveling public and the local communities may increase dramatically. The research on Project R11 focused on answering the following related questions: • How should highway reconstruction projects be set in space and time to minimize disruption to the traveling public, businesses, and adjacent communities? • What is the traffic impact on the regional network when multiple corridors are being considered for renewal? • Are there strategies that may minimize impacts on the corridor and/or regional network? This zip file contains comma separated value (.csv) files of data to support SHRP 2 report S2-R11-RW-1, Strategic approaches at the corridor and network level to minimize disruption from the renewal process. Zip size is 0.46 MB. Files were accessed in Microsoft Excel 2016. Data will be preserved as is. To view the publication see: https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/3612

Employed persons include people aged 16 years and older in the civilian noninstitutional population who did any work at all as paid employees; worked in their own business, profession, or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of the family; and all those who were not working but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent. The Bureau of Labor Statistics produces industry estimates of nonfarm payroll employment as part of the Current Population Survey.

The National Transportation Library (NTL) provides national and international access to transportation information, coordinates information creation and dissemination, and provides reference services for Department of Transportation (DOT) employees and public stakeholders. Established in 1998 by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21; P.L. 105-178), NTL’s authorized role was expanded in 2012’s Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21; P.L. 112- 141). NTL’s primary product and service is the Repository and Open Science Access Portal (ROSA P) (https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov).
NTL’s collections in ROSA P are full-text digital publications, datasets, and other resources. Legacy print materials that have been digitized are collected if they have historic, technical, or national significance. The repository is also designated as the full-text repository for USDOT-funded research under the USDOT Public Access Plan. Collections in ROSA P are available without restriction to transportation researchers, statistical organizations, the media, and the general public.

The objective of this project was to develop system designs for programs to monitor travel time reliability and to prepare a guidebook that practitioners and others can use to design, build, operate, and maintain such systems. Generally, such travel time reliability monitoring systems will be built on top of existing traffic monitoring systems. The focus of this project was on travel time reliability. The data from the monitoring systems developed in this project – from both public and private sources –included, wherever cost-effective, information on the seven sources of non-recurring congestion. This data was used to construct performance measures or to perform various types of analyses useful for operations management as well as performance measurement, planning, and programming. The datasets in this zip file, which is 338.39 MB in size, are in support of SHRP 2 reliability project L38A, "Pilot testing of SHRP 2 reliability data and analytical products: Southern California." This report can be accessed via the following URL: https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/3611 This zip file contains 11 files, including 8 Microsoft Excel worksheets (XLSX), 2 Comma Separated Values (CSV), and 1 Zip Package (PKZIP) files. The Microsoft Excel worksheets can be opened using the 2010 and 2016 versions of Microsoft Word, the CSV files can be opened using most text editors, and the PKZIP files can be opened using most zip file extraction programs.
