Readers may be aware that one of my projects is to archive all of the travel surveys (which typically include one day travel/activity diaries) ever conducted in the United States (as part of the Metropolitan Travel Survey Archive), and that I have used those surveys for studies of time use. Today my wife got a call from the Bureau of the Census about her Time Use yesterday.
