  The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global crisis that has impacted
virtually everyone. We conducted a nationwide online longitudinal survey in the
United States to collect information about the shifts in travel-related
behavior and attitudes before, during, and after the pandemic. The survey asked
questions about commuting, long distance travel, working from home, online
learning, online shopping, pandemic experiences, attitudes, and demographic
information. The survey has been deployed to the same respondents thrice to
observe how the responses to the pandemic have evolved over time. The first
wave of the survey was conducted from April 2020 to June 2021, the second wave
from November 2020 to August 2021, and the third wave from October 2021 to
November 2021. In total, 9,265 responses were collected in the first wave; of
these, 2,877 respondents returned for the second wave and 2,728 for the third
wave. Survey data are publicly available. This unique dataset can aid policy
makers in making decisions in areas including transport, workforce development,
and more. This article demonstrates the framework for conducting this online
longitudinal survey. It details the step-by-step procedure involved in
conducting the survey and in curating the data to make it representative of the
national trends.
