      abstract = {This paper describes a study of daily personal travel time  in the Minneapolis-St.
Paul, Minnesota metropolitan area  and how and why it changed between 1990 and 2001.
This has  two major components. The first is the relationship between  commute and noncommute
travel time. The second is the  relationship between mode choice, total daily
travel time,  and automobile travel time. Both of these are analyzed in  terms of how they
vary geographically within the region as  well as how they changed during the decade.
The study is  based on the Twin Cities Travel Behavior Inventory (TBI),  which
included about 10,000 households in 1990 and about  5,000 in 2001. These large samples
make it possible to  study geographic variations within the region. This is  supplemented
with information on commute durations from the  Census Transportation Planning
Package.
Average Twin Cities  one-way commute durations increased by about two  minutes
during the 1990s, while total daily travel time  increased by about five minutes for
workers and two minutes  for non-workers. This supports an earlier finding that  variations
in total daily travel time within the region  were primarily due to differences in average
commute  durations rather than non-work travel. The findings here  also support the theory
that time spent in non-auto modes  reduces the amount of time spent in auto travel,
although  the reduction is not one-for-one.},
