January 29, 2026 My Daily Travel Phase One data offers insight into how people travel across northeastern Illinois CMAP has published the Phase One dataset from its My Daily Travel household survey, marking a major milestone in a multi-year effort to better understand how northeastern Illinois residents move through the region. Between September 2024 and June 2025, the survey collected detailed travel behavior data from more than 3,500 households across Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties. The dataset provides critical insight into daily travel patterns, mode choice, telework, transit use, and barriers to travel — and will inform CMAP’s travel demand modeling, policy analysis, and long-range transportation planning efforts, including the development of the next Regional Transportation Plan Additional waves of the My Daily Travel survey are planned, with future data releases building on Phase One to provide an even more robust picture of how travel behavior continues to evolve post-pandemic across the region.
