Re: UCSC Spring 2000 Transportation Survey

Beginning Monday, May 15, Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) will conduct UCSC's Spring 2000 Transporation Survey. Designed to assess the travel patterns and habits of faculty, staff and students, TAPS will use the survey results to help plan new transportation programs and improvements to better accommodate the needs of the campus community.
Moreover, the survey will provide a "baseline" for comparision of future traffic conditions--and a means of measuring the success of UCSC's various Travel Demand Management (TDM) programs. The ten-question survey asks respondents to describe their campus commute trips for each day of the previous week, May 8 through May 12.

TAPS invites all students, staff and faculty to respond to the survey by visiting the TAPS Home Page at http://www2.ucsc.edu/taps/. Please share this information with staff, faculty and students associated with your campus unit. If you know of campus employees or students without Internet access, they may call TAPS at x9-2190 to receive a printed copy of the survey, which can then be returned to TAPS when completed.

As an incentive, respondents who complete the survey by May 19th and provide an email address or phone number are eligible to win one of five $100 cash prizes, to be awarded by a random drawing by June 1.

This is TAPS' first online survey, a step that promises to save time and resources while potentially increasing participation. If successful, TAPS plans to conduct several more online surveys during 2000 to address other specific transportation and parking issues. In addition,TAPS will be conducting a series of four focus group discussions concerning campus transportation issues on May 24 and 25. Interested students, faculty and staff are invited to contact Teresa Buika at
tabuika@cats.ucsc.edu or ext. 9-3826 for more information.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this important campus survey. Please share this message with your colleages and friends throughout the campus.

Sincerely,
Wes Scott
Director, Transportation and Parking Services.
Larry Pageler, Transportation Analyst
