title: Southern Grassroots Party Activists Project, 2001
title: Version 1

description: Similar to SOUTHERN GRASSROOTS PARTY ACTIVISTS PROJECT, 1991-1992 (ICPSR 6307), this 2001 data collection is a study of politics at the grassroots level. The immediate goal of the project was to describe the condition of contemporary grassroots party activism and organization in 11 Southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Political party activists from both the Democratic and Republican parties were surveyed in each of the 11 states, with data focusing on a range of characteristics of the party activists, including their party position, recruitment to party activism, incentives for involvement in party politics, campaign activities, communication with others in the party organization, attitudes toward involvement, perceptions of parties, issue orientations, and demographic and social attributes.

description: The SOUTHERN GRASSROOTS PARTY ACTIVISTS PROJECT, 2001 aimed at surveying county-level political party activists from both the Democratic and Republican parties in each of the 11 Southern states. The target population varied somewhat from state to state and even between parties in the same state, due to differences in party organization and differences in the availability of names. In every case, the intent was to interview county chairs and other members of the county executive committee. The sampling plan for each state and party, the number of individuals initially selected, the number of valid addresses, and the number of returned questionnaires for each state are all provided in the "Sampling Plan" section of the codebook.

title: Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey, 1969: [United States]
title: Version 1

description: This survey is the first in the Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) series. NPTS was designed to collect information on all trips taken during a 24-hour period, as well as trips of 75 or more miles one-way during the preceding 14 days. Trips made by any means of transportation were recorded, including automobile, walking, bicycle, school bus, motorcycle, and various modes of public transportation. A purpose code was also assigned to each trip: earning a living, family and personal business, educational or religious, and social and recreational. Demographic information was collected on participants as well, including geographic information, age, sex, race, occupation, and employment status of household members, and whether they owned or had access to a car.
