|     Data from the last two Residential Transportation Energy Consumption Surveys are available on-line. These data include fuel consumption and expenditures, vehicle-miles traveled, vehicle characteristics, and household characteristics from national samples of over 3,000 households. To protect respondent confidentiality, these data files do not contain any information which could be used to identify individual households. The lowest level of geographic detail provided is the Census Division (a grouping of 3 to 5 States.)

1994 RTECS Public Use Data
The data from the 1994 RTECS is distributed in dBase and ASCII formats. The data in each set has been compressed using PKZIP. After downloading either the ASCII or dBase set, place the downloaded file in a separate directory and expand it using pkunzip. If you don't have pkunzip.exe, you can download that package here. PKUNZIP.EXE is in PKZ204g.exe. PKUNZIP.EXE is the only file you need, but the developers of the product have asked that the entire package be distributed and not the individual files. You can however find pkunzip.exe on several other Internet sites. If you download PKZ204g.exe to a separate directory, type PKZ204g and press ENTER. 

Copy PKUNZIP.EXE to the directory where your RTECS public use files reside.
           If you downloaded the ASCII files, (RT94ASC.ZIP) File size 3.6 MB and you're using DOS: 
Type PKUNZIP RT94ASC.ZIP in DOS from the download directory. 
                        or    
If your Windows is set up to automatically use PKUNZIP when clicking any file with the ZIP extension, just double-click RT94ASC.ZIP. 

The following files will be created 
ASCII1.EXEASCII2.EXEASCII3.EXE
If you downloaded the dBase files, (RT94DBF.ZIP) File size 3.4 MB  and you're using DOS:

Type PKUNZIP RT94DBF.ZIP in DOS from the download directory. 
                        or    
If your Windows is set up to automatically use PKUNZIP when clicking any file with the ZIP extension, just double-click RT94DBF.ZIP. 

The following files will be created 
DBF1.EXEDBF2.EXEDBF3.EXE
NEXT: Proceed to expand the three newly created files by typing ASCII1, ASCII2, DBF1, etc. at the DOS prompt or by double-clicking the ASCII1.EXE, ASCII2.EXE, DBF1.EXE, etc. file. 

Two readme text files and several .EXE files will be created. The .EXE files are self-decompressing pkzip files.

The 1994 RTECS Public Use Data User's Guide contains all necessary documentation to use the public use data files.**IMPORTANT**: Please read the documentation first. You may not need all of the files expanded. The documentation refers to the data as though it were on floppy diskettes. 

Type APPENDA (at the DOS prompt) or double-click APPENDA.EXE (in Windows) to expand APPENDA.EXE, etc. Listed below are the contents of each file and the number of bytes.

The data are available in both DBase and ASCII format. The data have been compressed into 6 zip files with an extension of zip. After downloading the files, they should be placed in a separate directory and expanded by using a pkunzip program (also available below).          The file names are:PKZIP software  Pkunzip.exe is needed to expand the ZIP files.RTECS91.TXT     Information on the 1991 RTECS Public Use DataRT91ASC1.ZIP    Disk 1 of 1991 RTECS Public Use Data - ASCII Version (761,251 bytes)RT91ASC2.ZIP    Disk 2 of 1991 RTECS Public Use Data - ASCII Version ( 683,786 bytes)RT91ASC3.ZIP    Disk 3 of 1991 RTECS Public Use Data - ASCII Version (672,370 bytes)RT91DB1.ZIP     Disk 1 of 1991 RTECS Public Use Data - dBase Version (761,607 bytes)RT91DB2.ZIP     Disk 2 of 1991 RTECS Public Use Data - dBase Version (1,052,524 bytes)RT91DB3.ZIP     Disk 3 of 1991 RTECS Public Use Data - dBase Version (271,241 bytes)
 Note: There is a readme file in the first file of each format. The documentation refers to the files as being compressed with ARC and DBA. However these files have all been compressed into ZIP files for ease of use and will expand to the proper ASCII and DBASE format.
