About the Study


What is the OKI Moves Transportation Study?


The OKI Moves Transportation Study is a study of household demographics, daily travel activities, and typical transportation patterns throughout the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region. This information is vital for regional and local planning agencies to understand the impact of growth, development, and other changes in the area's communities on the transportation system. Reliable transportation and viable travel options contribute to the region's quality of life and economic vitality, and this study will help agencies prioritize transportation improvements to best fit the region's needs.


This study is sponsored by the OKI Regional Council of Governments, the Ohio Department of Transportation, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and the Indiana Department of Transportation.

Frequently Asked Questions

About the Study

What is this study all about?

We want to learn how, when, where, and why people travel in and around the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region. We're asking you to log your travel to help us understand regional transportation patterns. By participating you can help us plan for future transportation improvements in your community.

Why should I participate?

Your participation ensures that households like yours are represented in our regional transportation plans. Your input has a big impact because only a limited number of households are invited to participate.

How was I selected to participate?

Invited households were selected at random from the greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region.

Who is sponsoring this study?

What is the Ohio Long Distance study?

Please see the Ohio Long Distance Study FAQ for more information.

Completing the Study

How much time does it take to participate?

It takes about 10 minutes to sign up for the study. Once you sign up, we'll give you instructions for logging your travel and completing the study. Households that log their travel for seven days in the smartphone app, rMove, will spend about 5-10 minutes each day reporting their travel. Households that log their travel online or over the phone will spend about 10 minutes per household member reporting their travel for one day.

What do I get for participating?

You will receive a gift card once all members of your household have reported their travel and completed their surveys. Households that report their travel using the smartphone app, rMove, will receive a $20 Visa gift card per participating adult (e.g., a household with two adults receives $40). Households that report their travel online or by calling in will receive a single $10 Visa card.

What if I don't travel much?

Any amount of travel (including no travel) will help us improve regional transportation planning. Don't forget that short trips, such as walking the dog, count too.

What if my transportation habits during the study aren't my "typical" habits?

That’s no problem – we still encourage you to participate. We’ll also ask about your typical travel habits, how your travel has changed over the past year, and how you think you’ll travel in the future.

I was invited to use the study smartphone app, rMove. How does it work?

After you download rMove and sign up, rMove will log your trips for one week while you go about your daily life. Each day you'll be asked to complete a short daily survey about your travel habits as well as a trip survey about each trip you make.
