The primary objective was to test whether changes to question wording, response categories, and definitions of underlying constructs improve the quality of data collected. Both new and revised versions of existing questions were tested to determine if they could provide data of sufficient quality compared to a control version as measured by a series of metrics including item missing data rates, response distributions, comparisons with benchmarks, and response error. The results of this test will be used to help determine the future ACS content and to assess the expected data quality of revised questions and new questions added to the ACS. This report describes the results of the test for revised versions of the Mode of Commute and Time of Departure for Work questions.
