NB: All data was adjusted to 2007. When adjusted for the adult population, the percent of the US population 18 years of age and older was used to make the adjustment.
The 2006 and 2007 population estimates by age group are based on the US Census projections of population age groups for July 1, 2005 (released March 2004). To estimate the population in 2007, it is assumed the population grows at a 1% annual rate.
The visits made to school facilities are based on the age group that attends the specific school facility group. The number of visits due to new independent access at recreational facilities is based on the total US population 18 years and older, adjusted for disability type.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes an annual American Time Use Survey (ATUS), where a sample of the population keeps a diary of time spent doing daily activities. The conditional responses shown in the chart below contributed to the estimates of Facility Use and Travel time, components of the generalized use cost of a facility.
The following table lists the facilities included in the use premium benefits due to the requirements that affect the primary use of a visit, as listed in the second column. The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) description and corresponding code that matches each facilities’ primary function is listed in the third and fourth columns. The average time spent in these activities is listed in the last column.

The graph below shows the averages of the preliminary RAP estimates for the most likely total access time per facility. The panelist responses match a list of facilities that was later expanded to define costs per facility. It was assumed that facilities that were originally grouped into these facility groups had equal access times.
The following table presents the data of the average, minimum, maximum and median of the RAP panelist estimates of access time per facility. The final columns are the actual input used, the averages of the inputs.
