% (%)
The travel mode indicators show the percentages of people using the different transportation modes available for residents and visitors of Lake Tahoe to reach their destinations. Recreation and commercial core areas were chosen as survey locations for these indicators because they represent areas to which the majority of travel is made. Commercial core areas generally cover large areas of land that capture many businesses and employment establishments. Because travel mode is influenced by weather conditions, TMPO and TRPA conduct surveys during summer and winter. Travel mode indicators are important because they demonstrate where there is a shift among residents and visitors out of their cars and into other travel modes over time.
This Indicator is reported in the following LT Info areas:

TRPA’s 2018 Summer Travel Survey was conducted in late-August of 2018. Since 2006 TRPA has conducted basin-wide travel surveys every two years in order to better understand basic travel characteristics of both residents and visitors. The data collected - which includes data points such as mode share, origin-destinations, and trip purpose - is used for a variety of purposes at TRPA including regional performance metrics, project planning, and travel demand modeling. The report highlights development, methodology, logistics, and data results of the 2018 Summer Travel Survey.
