CMAP's Regional Travel Survey: My Daily Travel

August 30, 2024

To better understand travel trends in and around your community and help support your local planning efforts, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is asking residents in Franklin Park and across the region to share their daily travel through a survey. Launching in mid-September, select residents will receive a letter in the mail from CMAP requesting their participation.

The survey, also known as My Daily Travel, was last conducted in 2019 and surveyed more than 12,000 households in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties about trips they made for work, school, shopping, errands, and socializing with family and friends.

CMAP conducted similar travel surveys in 2008 and 1990. The data collected through the survey helps CMAP understand regional travel patterns and ensures that ON TO 2050, the long-range plan for northeastern Illinois, is consistent with current and forecasted transportation and land use trends. My Daily Travel survey results are available on the CMAP Data Hub.

CMAP is preparing for the next generation of My Daily Travel. A pilot survey was conducted in the spring of 2024, with a full survey deployment in the fall of 2024. Sign-up for CMAP’s newsletter to stay informed about the survey.
