Conducted by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) is the authoritative source on the travel behavior of the American public. It is the only source of national data that allows one to analyze trends in personal and household travel. It includes daily non-commercial travel by all modes, including characteristics of the people traveling, their household, and their vehicles. The NHTS has been conducted in 1983, 1990, 1995, 2001, 2009, and 2017.

The OxCGRT systematically collects information on several different common policy responses national governments have taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, scores the stringency of such measures, and aggregates these scores into a common Stringency Index. Eleven indicators of government response are provided; seven indicators are policies such as school closures and travel bans, and four are financial indicators such as fiscal or monetary measures. Data are collected from public sources by a team of dozens of Oxford University students and staff from every part of the world.

Researchers are tracking how people across the world are responding to the coronavirus pandemic. The global survey, launched in partnership with YouGov the first week of April, is collecting fortnightly data from 29 countries to explore the public’s attitudes and health behaviours as the situation evolves. This survey is monitoring how compliant individuals are with COVID-19 safety measures, such as self-isolation and avoiding unnecessary travel. It also looks into a range of other relevant behaviours and measures, from hygiene to quality of life.
