Utah Statewide Travel Surveys
2023 Utah Moves Transportation Survey
The 2023 Utah Moves Transportation Survey used a modern research approach to collect demographic and travel pattern information from residents throughout Utah. This data collection program was comprised of three separate but related efforts:
- A ‘core’ household travel survey (HTS) designed to collect typical travel information from residents on at least one weekday in the Spring of 2023. This effort, referred to below as the core survey, excluded residents living in group quarters (e.g., dorms on college campuses). The household travel survey gathered the daily travel patterns of over 25,000 Utahns from 9,799 participating households.
- A ‘university’ survey designed to collect typical travel information from college and university students on at least one weekday in the Spring of 2023. This survey targeted students from eight colleges and universities throughout the state. Over 1,300 students participated in the university survey.
- A ‘follow-on’ supplemental & long-distance survey to collect additional attitudinal information and long-distance travel patterns from 3,250 of the respondents who participated in the core survey.
