“Owing to network carrier capacity discipline, we think that the domestic US market is ripe for even higher growth than previously forecast. Our revised domestic forecast has traffic growth in the range of 2.5 to 3.0 percent over the next five years. With a load factor of 83 percent for 2014 (and average load factors in excess of 80 percent over the past few years), network carriers may be prompted to further ease their capacity discipline in the face of competitive pressures and continued economic recovery.”

Passengers Flying

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today that U.S. airlines and foreign airlines serving the United States carried an all-time high of 895.5 million systemwide (domestic and international) scheduled service passengers in 2015, 5.0 percent more than the previous record high of 853.1 million reached in 2014. The systemwide increase was the result of a 5.0 percent rise from 2014 in the number of passengers on domestic flights (696.2 million in 2015) and 4.7 percent growth from 2014 in passengers on U.S. and foreign airlines’ flights to and from the U.S. (199.4 million in 2015)

“Post the 2008 downturn, the introduction of the ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) business model in the United States is literally taking off. Spirit Airlines is the fastest growing domestic airline, recording double-digit growth. Frontier Airlines, which is undergoing a change in strategy, is expected to challenge Spirit in the quest to become the preeminent ULCC in the United States. The expectation is that over time, the industry will further consolidate, with the LCC and smaller network carriers becoming potential consolidation targets.

A total of 614 U.S. airports are served by regional airlines, with 70% (431 airports) relying exclusively on regional airlines for their scheduled service.

The United States’ air transportation network is the most developed in the world, but is evolving as airlines battle rising costs. While regional aircraft operate approximately 33% of commercial flights worldwide, 50% of all commercial flights in the United States are flown by regional aircraft with less than 100 seats. According to the Regional Airline Association (RAA), average capacity of U.S. regional aircraft has increased from 37 seats in 2000 to 50 seats in 2005 and to 56 seats in 2013. Average trip length increased from 476 kilometres in 2000 to 763 kilometres in 2013. These trends are expected to continue as new large regional aircraft replace 20-to59-seat aircraft.

Findings

General

The Department of Transportation has been collecting data about daily personal travel patterns via two different, periodic surveys going back to 1969. Subsequent survey years have been: 1977, 1983, 1990, 1995, 2001, 2009, and 2016 (underway).

Abstract:

The 2009 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) provides data to characterize daily personal travel patterns across the country. The survey includes demographic data on households, vehicles, people, and detailed information on daily travel by all modes of transportation. NHTS survey data is collected from a sample of households and expanded to provide national estimates of trips and miles of travel by travel mode, trip purpose, and other household attributes. When combined with historical data from the 1969, 1977, 1983,1990, and 1995 NPTS and the 2001 NHTS, the 2009 NHTS serves as a rich source of detailed travel data over time for users. This document highlights travel trends and commuting patterns in eight key areas – summary of travel and demographics, household travel, person travel, private vehicle travel, vehicle availability and usage, commute travel patterns, temporal distribution, and special populations.

The Census Bureau (in addition to the Dept. of Transportation) has asked survey questions about daily travel patterns going back to 1980 (and back to 1960 for a couple of very specific questions). Questions have been asked during the decennial census (since 1980, maybe 1960), and during the “American Community Survey” (going back to 2005).

This article presents data and extrapolations explaining why urban commute times have not increased more dramatically, despite decades of urban sprawl.

One study (Alex Anas, SUNY Buffalo) extrapolates commute times for the Chicago metro area from 2000 to 2030. In that time, there is a 24% jump in population, leading to 19% more urbanized land (sprawl), but only a 4.5% rise in commute time (from 30 minutes to 31.7 minutes).

Another study (MIT Senseable City Lab) examines cell phone data to track commutes around the world. The study finds travel time, on average across the world, to be largely independent of distance.

The article says that these studies seems to support the theory of “travel time budgets,” developed first by Yacov Zahavi and further by Cesar Marchetti (that travel budgets have averaged about an hour throughout history, and across the world). Both studies seem to support the idea that people adapt their lifestyles to accommodate an average travel time budget, whether by changing mode of transportation (e.g.: switching to public transportation), moving closer to their jobs, or reducing trips that aren’t commutes.

Total Vehicle Miles Traveled

The new report’s 30-year estimates predict even less rapid growth in driving, forecasting that total driving miles will increase only 0.75 percent annually from 2012 to 2042. With population growth estimated to average 0.7 percent each year, this leaves per-person driving miles essentially flat. “This represents a significant slowdown from the growth in total VMT experienced over the past 30 years, which averaged 2.08% annually,” says the report.

The Federal Highway Administration’s spring 2016 forecast revises the growth outlook even further downward.

Excerpt:
Growth in total VMT by all vehicle types is projected to average 0.92% annually over the next 20 years (2014-2034). Over the entire 30-year forecast period (2014-2044) the average annual growth rate is projected to be 0.61% annually, as growth is projected to slow to 0.30% annually during the last decade (2034-2044). This outlook represents a significant slowdown from the growth experienced over the past 30 years, when growth in total VMT averaged 2% annually, although more detailed analysis shows that growth in overall motor vehicle travel per Capita was already slowing throughout most of that period.

Excerpt:
In the [business as usual] case, new-vehicle sales increase to 22.2 million in 2050 from 10.8 million units in 2010 (a year in which sales were severely depressed due to the recession). Diesel, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles make modest gains in market share (Figure 5.1). The total stock of LDVs increases from about 220 million in 2010 to 365 million in 2050.

Autonomous Vehicle Sales

IHS forecasts 76 million autonomous vehicles will have been sold globally through 2035, with 21 million of those being sold that year.

“The U.S. market is expected to see the earliest deployment of autonomous vehicles as it works through challenges posed by regulation, liability and consumer acceptance. Deployment in the U.S. will begin with several thousand autonomous vehicles sold in 2020, which will grow to nearly 4.5 million vehicles sold in 2035, according to IHS Automotive forecasts. As in many other markets, a variety of use cases and business models are expected to develop around consumer demand for personal mobility.”

IHS expects a global CAGR of 43% between 2025 and 2035.
