Description

Arguments against pre-Labor Day starts assert that families travel less when school starts earlier. However, to date no empirical evidence documents the actual number of trips that families take in both circumstances. This study provides information about actual travel pattern differences using data on family leisure travel available from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) – a national study sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and conducted by the US Census Bureau.This study uses a quadi-experimental method that taps ATUS data in five states that have a mandate regulating when schools start, and examines differences in family travel across each of five years from 2005 to 2010.
