Arbitron National In-Car Study: 2009 Edition                                                      1




Introduction
Welcome to the Arbitron 2009 National In-Car Study. This report will provide a detailed examination
of America’s in-car media audience and its exposure to outdoor advertising, radio and audio
technologies. The study will also examine the shopping and purchase decisions of America’s mobile
consumers.
Arbitron has published several benchmark studies documenting America’s relationship with various
media, including dial radio platforms (satellite, Internet, podcasting, HD® radio) and place-based
advertising in such diverse venues as movie theaters, airports and bars. Our work in examining the
mobile audience began in 2001 with the Arbitron Outdoor Study: Outdoor Media Consumers and
Their Crucial Role in the Media Mix. The Arbitron 2003 National In-Car Study represented our first
comprehensive national analysis of America’s total in-car experience, including exposure to both
printed outdoor advertising and radio, the in-car broadcast medium; this report is a follow-up to that
landmark 2003 survey. In 2008, Arbitron examined next generation outdoor advertising in the
Arbitron Digital Billboard Report: Cleveland Case Study and in 2009 explored big city travelers’
attitudes toward outdoor advertising in the Arbitron Outdoor Billboard Report: Los Angeles County
Case Study.
All of these studies and more are available for free download at www.arbitron.com.


Description of Methodology 
A total of 1,858 people were interviewed to investigate Americans’ travel habits and their use of
various forms of media. From January 16 to February 15, 2009, telephone interviews were conducted
with respondents aged 12 and older. Seventy percent of the sample was chosen at random from a
national sample of Arbitron’s Fall 2008 survey diarykeepers and 30 percent was recruited through
random digit dialing (RDD) sampling in certain geographic areas where Arbitron diarykeepers were
not available for the survey. The results of this study are reported among the 1,666 respondents who
were aged 18 or older.

 Total Calls Attempted:       7,585
 Unresolved (no answer):      5,063
 Total Persons Reached:       2,522
 Refusals:                      664
 Completed Interviews:        1,858
 Cooperation Rate:             74%


Definition of Terms: 
Travelers: United States residents aged 18 years or older who have traveled in any vehicle in the past
month⎯98% of population aged 18 or older.

Billboard viewers: United States residents aged 18 years or older who notice the advertising message
on roadside billboards each time, most of the time or sometimes⎯71% of the population aged 18 or
older.

Some Significant Findings of the Research Include: 
•   In-car media, including billboards and radio, reach the sum of American consumers on a
    regular basis. Ninety-eight percent of U.S. residents aged 18 or older have either driven or
    ridden in a vehicle in the past month and 93% of Americans have listened to AM/FM radio
    during the past week.
•   Americans spend nearly 20 hours in their cars per week and travel more than 200 miles. The
    average traveler aged 18 or older spends 18 hours and 31 minutes in his or her car per week and
    covers 224 miles. Key demographic groups including Persons 18 to 34 and Persons 25 to 54
    average more time and miles in their cars.
•   Mega-milers are more likely to live in high-income households. Thirty-nine percent of mega-
    milers (those who travel more than 150 miles per week) have a household income of $75,000 or
    more per year compared with 27% of average Americans (see Appendix A and B of this
    document).
•   Travelers take note of billboard advertising. Seventy-one percent of travelers often look at the
    messages on roadside billboards and more than one-third (37%) report looking at an outdoor ad
    each or most of the time they pass one.
•   Digital billboards are making headway nationally. More than half (55%) of travelers have
    noticed a digital roadside billboard in the past month and nearly one-third (32%) have noticed one
    in the past week.
•   Viewers learn a lot from billboard ads. Billboard viewers recall seeing a wide range of
    actionable information, including stores and restaurants they later visited, radio and TV programs
    they were interested in, events they wanted to attend or something funny they shared with friends
    later that day.
•   Transit advertising and street furniture expand outdoor advertising beyond billboards.
    Fifty-nine percent of travelers aged 18 or older have noticed a public bus, not including a school
    bus, in the past week and 39% have noticed an advertising message on a bus; nearly half (47%)
    noticed a bus stop, and taxi cabs have been spotted by 38% of travelers.
•   Billboard viewers see AM/FM radio remaining a significant part of their in-car media
    experience despite changes in audio technology. Ninety-three percent of Americans aged 18 or
    older listen to an AM or FM radio station for five minutes or more during an average week and
    more than eight in 10 (81%) billboard viewers agree they will continue to listen to AM/FM radio
    as much as they do now despite increasing advancements in technology.
•   Satellite and Internet radio round out the in-car broadcast media options. Twelve percent of
    billboard viewers report having a satellite radio subscription and 38% are very or somewhat
    interested in listening to Internet radio in the car.
•   More and more consumers are experimenting with new video platforms that affect their
    consumption of at-home TV commercials. Thirty-five percent of billboard viewers own a
    digital video recorder such as a TiVo®, which allows users to time shift programming and even
    avoid commercials entirely; an equal number have either rented a TV series on DVD or watched
    episodes On Demand through their cable or satellite TV providers. More than one in four viewers
    have watched a TV program over the Internet and more than one in 10 have downloaded a show
    from the Internet.

•   Billboard advertising is one of the last messages a consumer receives before making a buy
    decision. Nearly three-quarters of billboard viewers shop on their way home from work; more
    than two-thirds make their shopping decisions while in the car and more than one-third make the
    decision to stop at the store while on their way home⎯all times when billboard advertising has
    the opportunity to be influential.
•   Roadside billboards drive store traffic. Nearly one-quarter of billboard viewers say they were
    motivated to visit a particular store that day because of an outdoor ad message and nearly one-
    third visited a retailer they saw on a billboard later that week. Half of viewers reported receiving
    directional information from a billboard and one-quarter said they immediately visited a business
    because of an outdoor ad message.

The vast majority of Americans travel vehicle          in a vehicle each month. Ninety-eight percent of United
States residents aged 18 or older have either driven or ridden in some kind of private or public vehicle
in the past month. Young adults aged 18 to 34 are slightly less likely to have driven a vehicle, but
they are more likely than older Americans to have ridden in a public bus or taxi in the past month.

American travelers spent nearly three hours per weekday and two hours per weekend day
traveling in a vehicle. On average, United States travelers aged 18 and older spend 18 hours and 31
minutes on the road each week; it breaks out to 2 hours and 52 minutes per day Monday through
Friday and 2 hours and 7 minutes per day on Saturday and Sunday. Young adults aged 18 to 34 spend
an average of 1 hour and 41 minutes more on the road per week than older adults.

U.S. travelers rack up an average of 224 miles on the road per week. American travelers aged 18
and older drive an average of 224 miles in a vehicle as a passenger or driver per week. Travelers in
the prime 25 to 54 demo cover the most distance during a seven-day period, with an average of 267
miles traveled.

Another useful way to examine travelers is by dividing the population into three evenly portioned
segments. Mega-milers are the heavy travelers who account for most of the miles traveled in the U.S.
This group differs from other travelers in significant ways; they tend to be younger (a higher
concentration of mega-milers are in the 18-34 and 25-54 age demos) and more affluent (live in
higher-income households). See Appendix B of this document for more details.

More and more consumers are experimenting with new video platforms that affect their
consumption of at-home TV commercials. Thirty-five percent of billboard viewers own a digital
video recorder such as a TiVo, which allows users to time shift programming and even avoid
commercials entirely. More than one-third (35%) of viewers have also rented a TV series on DVD or
watched episodes On Demand through their cable or satellite TV provider. More than one in four
viewers (28%) have watched a TV program over the Internet and more than one in 10 (13%) have
downloaded a show from the Internet.

About Arbitron Inc.
Arbitron Inc. (NYSE: ARB) is a media and marketing research firm serving the media—radio,
television, cable, online radio and out-of-home—as well as advertisers and advertising. Arbitron’s
core businesses are measuring network and local-market radio audiences across the United States;
surveying the retail, media and product patterns of local-market consumers; and providing application
software used for analyzing media audience and marketing information data. The company has
developed the Portable People MeterTM, a new technology for media and marketing research.

Through its Scarborough Research, Arbitron provides additional media and marketing research
services to the broadcast television, newspaper and online industries.

Arbitron’s headquarters and its world-renowned research and engineering organizations are located in
Columbia, MD.

Arbitron’s Out-of-Home division provides training, consumer behavioral data, audience profiles and
analysis software for out-of-home media. Currently, nearly 100 out-of-home plants/place-based
media clients and thousands of media industry clients—agencies, advertisers, stations, marketers and
networks—utilize Arbitron and Scarborough consumer behavior information and software.

Credible third-party measurement helps advertisers justify their investment in the medium. The
company’s 50+ years of audience measurement experience help sellers focus on selling the value of
their advertising rather than justifying the credibility of their measurement. Arbitron research studies
about cinema advertising, the outdoor industry, and traditional and nontraditional media can be found
on the company’s Web site at www.arbitron.com and can be downloaded free of charge.

  • 1. The Arbitron National In-Car Study 2009 Edition Presented by: Diane Williams Senior Media Research Analyst Custom Research Arbitron Inc. 142 West 57th Street New York, NY 10019 (212) 887-1461 diane.williams@arbitron.com
  • 2. Arbitron National In-Car Study: 2009 Edition 1 Introduction Welcome to the Arbitron 2009 National In-Car Study. This report will provide a detailed examination of America’s in-car media audience and its exposure to outdoor advertising, radio and audio technologies. The study will also examine the shopping and purchase decisions of America’s mobile consumers. Arbitron has published several benchmark studies documenting America’s relationship with various media, including dial radio platforms (satellite, Internet, podcasting, HD® radio) and place-based advertising in such diverse venues as movie theaters, airports and bars. Our work in examining the mobile audience began in 2001 with the Arbitron Outdoor Study: Outdoor Media Consumers and Their Crucial Role in the Media Mix. The Arbitron 2003 National In-Car Study represented our first comprehensive national analysis of America’s total in-car experience, including exposure to both printed outdoor advertising and radio, the in-car broadcast medium; this report is a follow-up to that landmark 2003 survey. In 2008, Arbitron examined next generation outdoor advertising in the Arbitron Digital Billboard Report: Cleveland Case Study and in 2009 explored big city travelers’ attitudes toward outdoor advertising in the Arbitron Outdoor Billboard Report: Los Angeles County Case Study. All of these studies and more are available for free download at www.arbitron.com. Description of Methodology  A total of 1,858 people were interviewed to investigate Americans’ travel habits and their use of various forms of media. From January 16 to February 15, 2009, telephone interviews were conducted with respondents aged 12 and older. Seventy percent of the sample was chosen at random from a national sample of Arbitron’s Fall 2008 survey diarykeepers and 30 percent was recruited through random digit dialing (RDD) sampling in certain geographic areas where Arbitron diarykeepers were not available for the survey. The results of this study are reported among the 1,666 respondents who were aged 18 or older. Total Calls Attempted: 7,585 Unresolved (no answer): 5,063 Total Persons Reached: 2,522 Refusals: 664 Completed Interviews: 1,858 Cooperation Rate: 74% Definition of Terms:  Travelers: United States residents aged 18 years or older who have traveled in any vehicle in the past month⎯98% of population aged 18 or older. Billboard viewers: United States residents aged 18 years or older who notice the advertising message on roadside billboards each time, most of the time or sometimes⎯71% of the population aged 18 or older. © 2009 Arbitron Inc.
  • 3. Arbitron National In-Car Study: 2009 Edition 2 Some Significant Findings of the Research Include:  • In-car media, including billboards and radio, reach the sum of American consumers on a regular basis. Ninety-eight percent of U.S. residents aged 18 or older have either driven or ridden in a vehicle in the past month and 93% of Americans have listened to AM/FM radio during the past week. • Americans spend nearly 20 hours in their cars per week and travel more than 200 miles. The average traveler aged 18 or older spends 18 hours and 31 minutes in his or her car per week and covers 224 miles. Key demographic groups including Persons 18 to 34 and Persons 25 to 54 average more time and miles in their cars. • Mega-milers are more likely to live in high-income households. Thirty-nine percent of mega- milers (those who travel more than 150 miles per week) have a household income of $75,000 or more per year compared with 27% of average Americans (see Appendix A and B of this document). • Travelers take note of billboard advertising. Seventy-one percent of travelers often look at the messages on roadside billboards and more than one-third (37%) report looking at an outdoor ad each or most of the time they pass one. • Digital billboards are making headway nationally. More than half (55%) of travelers have noticed a digital roadside billboard in the past month and nearly one-third (32%) have noticed one in the past week. • Viewers learn a lot from billboard ads. Billboard viewers recall seeing a wide range of actionable information, including stores and restaurants they later visited, radio and TV programs they were interested in, events they wanted to attend or something funny they shared with friends later that day. • Transit advertising and street furniture expand outdoor advertising beyond billboards. Fifty-nine percent of travelers aged 18 or older have noticed a public bus, not including a school bus, in the past week and 39% have noticed an advertising message on a bus; nearly half (47%) noticed a bus stop, and taxi cabs have been spotted by 38% of travelers. • Billboard viewers see AM/FM radio remaining a significant part of their in-car media experience despite changes in audio technology. Ninety-three percent of Americans aged 18 or older listen to an AM or FM radio station for five minutes or more during an average week and more than eight in 10 (81%) billboard viewers agree they will continue to listen to AM/FM radio as much as they do now despite increasing advancements in technology. • Satellite and Internet radio round out the in-car broadcast media options. Twelve percent of billboard viewers report having a satellite radio subscription and 38% are very or somewhat interested in listening to Internet radio in the car. • More and more consumers are experimenting with new video platforms that affect their consumption of at-home TV commercials. Thirty-five percent of billboard viewers own a digital video recorder such as a TiVo®, which allows users to time shift programming and even avoid commercials entirely; an equal number have either rented a TV series on DVD or watched episodes On Demand through their cable or satellite TV providers. More than one in four viewers have watched a TV program over the Internet and more than one in 10 have downloaded a show from the Internet. © 2009 Arbitron Inc.
  • 4. Arbitron National In-Car Study: 2009 Edition 3 • Billboard advertising is one of the last messages a consumer receives before making a buy decision. Nearly three-quarters of billboard viewers shop on their way home from work; more than two-thirds make their shopping decisions while in the car and more than one-third make the decision to stop at the store while on their way home⎯all times when billboard advertising has the opportunity to be influential. • Roadside billboards drive store traffic. Nearly one-quarter of billboard viewers say they were motivated to visit a particular store that day because of an outdoor ad message and nearly one- third visited a retailer they saw on a billboard later that week. Half of viewers reported receiving directional information from a billboard and one-quarter said they immediately visited a business because of an outdoor ad message.   © 2009 Arbitron Inc.

American travelers aged 18 and older drive an average of 224 miles in a vehicle as a passenger or driver per week. Travelers in the prime 25 to 54 demo cover the most distance during a seven-day period, with an average of 267 miles traveled. Another useful way to examine travelers is by dividing the population into three evenly portioned segments. Mega-milers are the heavy travelers who account for most of the miles traveled in the U.S. This group differs from other travelers in significant ways; they tend to be younger (a higher concentration of mega-milers are in the 18-34 and 25-54 age demos) and more affluent (live in higher-income households).
