This paper looks at data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 Cohort, which has collected data on travel time to regular child care arrangements every three years for the children of a nationally representative sample of adults born 1980 to 1984. Using these data, we will report travel times by parent characteristics, type of care, and characteristics of the location of residence. In addition, we will compare out of pocket costs for care with the imputed costs of travel time based on parents' hourly rates of compensation. These data will help illuminate families' access to different types of child care and the contribution of travel costs to total costs paid by parents for their children's care, thus making an ongoing contribution to the discussion of differential access to early care and education.
