A trip is a one-way journey from one location to another by any form of transportation. The travel day reported must be a weekday (i.e., Monday - Friday, excluding holidays). The survey will ask you to provide information about each place you have been, starting with your location at 3:00am on your travel day and ending with your location at 2:59am the following day.
