Trip chaining

October 17, 2008 | Category: blog

Four thousand miles of freeways spread across California separating commuters from their destinations, and with the increasing price of gas, trip chaining is becoming a prevalent ideology.

In 1995, this term was used in a study done by the U.S. Department of Transportation to study the declination of personal trips carried out by public transit. Every stop was considered a chain along the entire trip, from the moment you left the house, until you returned.

The term is now used to describe the idea of combining all of your errands into a planned out route that will save you time and money, something familiar to most all of us in our busy lives and increasingly expensive society.

UPS has implemented this method in its daily operations. Truck routes are now preplanned utilizing only right turns to avoid waiting at left turn signals. UPS estimates they are saving approximately three million gallons of fuel per year with this plan.

The U.S. Department of Physical Education is trying to incorporate the same study with masturbation as only those who fall into the rare percentile who are ambidexterous can successfully masturbating with either left or right hand.
