Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the DailyTravel app?
  • DailyTravel is an app designed by Westat to collect household travel survey information from invited households. This information includes all places visited by you and other persons in your household along with details that explain the why, how and when of the travel to these places.
  • Why should I participate in the survey?
  • Transportation planners use information collected from this study to develop forecasts of future travel in your city, region, and state. As a participant, your involvement helps shape the outcome of these future plans—and the allocation of funding — by providing a snapshot of travel in your city, region, and state.
  • What do you do with the data from the app?
  • The data collected on the app provides more detailed and accurate travel information than paper travel logs traditionally used in this type of survey. For example, information like travel path and the exact times that you leave from and arrive at each place you visit is passively detected and recorded. This makes the process easier for you, compared to writing everything down on a paper travel log. You do not need to actively record the trips yourself, the app does this for you automatically. This enhanced data is important to transportation planners for knowing how, when, and why people travel within the region.
  • I got an invitation to participate in a study, what do I do?
  • Your invitation includes a web address to complete a brief survey to get you started. Once this survey is completed you will receive instructions for accessing, downloading and using DailyTravel.
  • How do I know if I am eligible to use the app?
  • Beyond the study specific requirements, the only phone requirement is that you have a smartphone running iOS 8 or Android Lollipop (version 5.0) or newer. You can check your OS version by taking the following steps:
    • Android: Go to Settings → About → Software Information → Android Version
    • Apple iPhone iOS: Go to Settings → General → About → Version
  • I’m using the app, but I have a question about how it’s working. What do I do?
  • You can provide feedback and send us questions directly through the Feedback page in the app. (Click the menu item in the top-right and click Feedback.) Please provide a detailed description of the issue you are reporting. You can also send us a message using the Contact Us form below and someone will email you back shortly. Lastly, you can call our toll-free support line during regular business hours of 9am to 5 pm Eastern at 1-855-291-1420.
