Bike-sharing Program "After" Questionnaire |
| |
|
|
|
This one-year pilot program will provide shared bicycles for Caltrans employees who need local transportation throughout the workday for business and personal trips. This survey is part of a before-and-after questionnaire that will allow UC Berkeley researchers to evaluate how bikesharing will affect employee transportation choices. The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. The responses you provide will help inform the research team about the value of a bike-sharing program to Caltrans District 4 employees, and Caltrans employees at comparable downtown Oakland locations.
Please note that your participation in this survey is completely voluntary and should you choose to proceed with the survey, your answers will not be associated with you personally. The data are looked at in statistical format and will not be associated with any one individual. Furthermore, researchers will protect your privacy by not collecting any identifiable personal information.
Thank you, in advance, for your participation. |

| * Before we begin, we need to re-input your ID for this survey. Recall that you made your ID from the last four digits of a phone number of yours affixed to your zip code. For example, if your phone number was 610-665-2719 and your zip code was 21218. Then your ID would be 2719-21218. We need you to use the same phone number and zip code that you used when you took the previous survey, even if one or both have since changed. If you cannot recall which phone number you used, your best guess is appreciated. | | |
