Abstract
The work trip is of major importance for area planning dt1e to a number of factors. First, it is generally understood that urban transportation systems, and street facilities in particular, are designed with respect to peak volumes of travel at some accepted level of service. Morning and early evening peak hour travel is largely comprised of travel to and from work. Even in a University community such as the Iowa City-Coralville area, nearly 50% of morning "rush hour" auto travel is made up of persons traveling to work. Thus to a significant degree, the work trip contributes to congestion of streets and strains the fixed capacity of transit systems.
