Thank you for taking this survey about your carsharing use. Your responses will help the transportation research community better understand how carsharing interacts with your personal travel needs and lifestyle. All of your responses will remain confidential. If you have any questions about the survey, feel free to respond to the email: [email protected]. This email is also listed at the bottom of each page and will be checked frequently during the operation of this survey. The survey should take between 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Thank you again for your participation.
First, we would like to ask you some questions about your carsharing membership and why you joined.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |

| 4. To which plan do you subscribe at Autoshare? |
| |
|
|
|

|
|
| 6. How are you connected to Co-Operative Auto Network / The Company Car (as a member or a driver)? Please check all that apply. |
| |
|

|
|
|
|
| |
| 10. To which plan do you subscribe at VrtuCar? |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
11. Are you member of more than one carsharing organization? If so please indicate any other carsharing organizations of which you are a member.
Please do not consider "joint-use" agreements as multi-memberships. Only consider organizations to which you pay bills.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
12. Please select the statement that best characterizes the household circumstances under which you joined carsharing.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Because you are a member through your employer, we have a few questions about your specific membership. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
| 13. How would you characterize your employer? |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| 14. Do you use carsharing for trips outside of work? |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Next, we would like to learn more about your vehicle ownership and driving patterns BEFORE you joined carsharing.
|
| |
|
|
|
15. How many vehicles did your household own or lease BEFORE you joined carsharing?
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the following question, we ask you to estimate the kilometers that vehicles within your household were driven prior to joining carsharing. If you do not know the annual kilometers of a vehicle off the top of your head, you can compute a rough estimate.
Everyone has different driving habits, but most people can break down driving needs into two trip types, (1) driving to work (for those who commuted by car), and (2) driving everywhere else.
To help you with computing annual kilometers, start with the round trip distance a vehicle was driven during a typical work day, then multiply that by the number of days per week the vehicle is taken to work (usually 3 to 5). Now you have commuting kilometers per week. You can multiply that by the number of weeks per year that you went to work at that location.
Non-work kilometers are much more variable over a year. These are the kilometers driven around town for errands as well as out of town trips over the year BEFORE you joined carsharing. Add this non-work estimate to the commuting kilometers. The sum is your total annual kilometers for that vehicle.
Alternatively, if the annual kilometers driven on a vehicle is something that you happen to know, feel free to just enter that estimate.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
16. Please list the make, model, and year of any vehicles your household owned or leased BEFORE joining carsharing. If you had more than five, please list the five most frequently driven.
For each vehicle, please give your best estimate as to the ANNUAL KILOMETERS it was driven DURING THE YEAR BEFORE you joined carsharing.
In answering this question, please consider the driving of ALL members of your household.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Now, we would like to learn more about your CURRENT vehicle ownership and driving patterns.
|
| |
|
|
|
17. How many vehicles does your household own or lease CURRENTLY?
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the following question, we ask you to estimate the kilometers that vehicles within your household are CURRENTLY DRIVEN.
The following text discusses how to compute a rough estimate for annual kilometers for each vehicle. If you have read this text in a previous question, it is the same as before.
Everyone has different driving habits, but most people can break down driving needs into two trip types, (1) driving to work (for those who commute by car), and (2) driving everywhere else.
To help you with computing annual kilometers, start with the round trip distance a vehicle is driven during a typical work day, then multiply that by the number of days per week the vehicle is taken to work (usually 3 to 5). Now you have commuting kilometers per week. You can multiply that by the number of weeks per year that you go to work at that location.
Non-work kilometers are much more variable over a year. These are the kilometers driven around town for errands as well as out of town trips over the CURRENT year. Add this non-work estimate to the commuting kilometers. The sum is your total annual kilometers for that vehicle.
Alternatively, if the annual kilometers driven on a vehicle is something that you happen to know, feel free to just enter that estimate.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
18. Please list the make, model, and year of any vehicles your household CURRENTLY owns or leases. If you have more than five vehicles, please list the five most driven.
For each vehicle, please give your best estimate as to the ANNUAL KILOMETERS that the vehicle is CURRENTLY driven within your household.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| Next, we have a few questions about how you use your carsharing account |
| |
|
|
|
| |
19. How many people are jointly listed on your carsharing account (including yourself)?
(If you are part of a business account, then select the only number of people within your household that are members of that account)
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
20. Do you consider yourself to be the primary user of the carsharing account (using it the majority of the time)?
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
21. Do you and the other account holders all live at the same address?
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Help us match responses from joint accounts.
Please enter the last 3 digits of your home (landline) telephone number.
This will help us match responses from other members of your household if they take the survey. We cannot identify or contact you from just the last three digits of your phone number.
If you do not have a landline or do not wish to respond to this question, just indicate that below:
As an example, if your landline phone number was 555-510-4936, then you would enter 936.
|
|
| 22. The last THREE digits of my household’s most frequently used landline telephone number are: |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
26. During a typical work week, how many days a week would you commute to work or school by car BEFORE JOINING carsharing, and how many days a week do you commute by car CURRENTLY?
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| 27. Can you provide the VEHICLE MODEL NAME of the carsharing vehicle that you use most frequently? (i.e., Civic, Prius, Yaris, Civic Hybrid, Element, etc.) |
| |
|
|
|

| 28. Instead, can you provide the VEHICLE TYPE of the carsharing vehicle that you use most frequently? (i.e., 4-door sedan, 4-door sedan hybrid, small sports utility vehicle (SUV), cross-over vehicle, pick-up truck, etc.) |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Now we have a few questions pertaining to your use of other transportation modes BEFORE and AFTER you joined carsharing. As best you can, estimate the HOURS TRAVELED and ROUND TRIPS TAKEN by the modes listed. If seasonal changes alter how you travel throughout the year, please answer the question in context of the month of April.
After this, we're nearly finished with questions about travel behavior.
|
| |
|
|

Now, we would like to learn more about your CURRENT vehicle ownership and driving patterns.
|
| |
|
|
|
44. How many vehicles does your household own or lease CURRENTLY?
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the following question, we ask you to estimate the kilometers that vehicles within your household are CURRENTLY DRIVEN. If you do not know the annual kilometers of a vehicle off the top of your head, you can compute a rough estimate.
Everyone has different driving habits, but most people can break down driving needs into two trip types, (1) driving to work (for those who commute by car), and (2) driving everywhere else.
To help you with computing annual kilometers, start with the round trip distance a vehicle is driven during a typical work day, then multiply that by the number of days per week the vehicle is taken to work (usually 3 to 5). Now you have commuting kilometers per week. You can multiply that by the number of weeks per year that you go to work at that location.
Non-work kilometers are much more variable over a year. These are the kilometers driven around town for errands as well as out of town trips over the past year. Add this non-work estimate to the commuting kilometers. The sum is your total annual kilometers for that vehicle.
Alternatively, if the annual kilometers driven on a vehicle is something that you happen to know, feel free to just enter that estimate.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
45. Please list the make, model, and year of any cars your household CURRENTLY owns or leases. If you have more than five vehicles, please list the five most driven. If you do not own any vehicles, please say "No Vehicles" in the "Make" Column of the first row.
