26. SURVEY RESULTS:MODE CHOICE ANALYSIS
• DRIVING ALONE:
Reason: Saving time/Necessary
• NOT DRIVING ALONE:
Reason: No car/Parking fee is too
expensive
• NOT USING TRANSIT:
Reason: Not enough facilities/buses
come too infrequently
• NOT BIKING:
Reason: Do not own a bike/Not
safe/Too hilly
30. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENTATION
• Potential for non-representative sample—would have liked more
respondents
• Some inconsistencies in how people responded—did not filter out
incomplete or inaccurate surveys
• Transportation system largely set up to support personal auto use (and
walking)
• Respondents had poor opinions about connectivity of system
• But, with improvements, willing to use other modes of transportation
POTENTIAL FOR SUCCESS OF UPTOWN TRANSPORTATION HUB (?)
