<br /> OPT Short Range Transit Plan <br />Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. | 3-8 <br /> <br /> <br />Primary Mode of Transportation <br />The primary mode of transportation for online survey respondents, as shown in Figure 3-8, is <br />driving alone (61%) followed by bus (26%). Bicycling (5%), carpooling (4%), and walking (2%) are <br />utilized significantly less than driving alone and transit. However, the majority of respondents <br />(85%) indicated that they use transit. This suggests that many respondents regularly use transit as <br />a secondary mode of transportation. <br />Figure 3-8 Primary Mode of Transportation <br />Ridership Frequency <br />The majority of respondents (53%) ride transit between five and seven days per week with an <br />additional 24% riding between three and four days per week (Figure 3-9). <br />Figure 3-9 Ridership Frequency <br />Drive alone <br />61% <br />Carpool <br />4% <br />Bicycle <br />5% <br />Bus <br />26% <br />Walk <br />2% <br />Other (please <br />specify) <br />1% <br />N = 474 <br />Less than 1 day <br />per month <br />5%Less than 1 day <br />per week <br />6% <br />1-2 days per <br />week <br />11% <br />3-4 days per <br />week <br />24% <br />5-7 days per <br />week <br />53% <br />Never <br />1% <br />N = 443
