Bike-sharing Program "Before" 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.

Thank you, in advance, for your participation.
 
 
 
* Before we begin, we need to establish an ID for your survey. As part of your participation you will take two surveys. This ID will be used to link this survey with the second survey. Your ID is the last four digits of your phone number affixed to your zipcode. For example, if your phone number is 610-665-2719 and your zip code is 21218. Then your ID is 2719-21218.
Please enter your survey ID:    
 
 
It does not matter which phone number you use, but please remember the one you select because you will be asked to enter this ID again in about three months.
