Quality of Life Survey – Economic Health ▪ Jobs typically filled by the transit dependent groups (e.g. low paying jobs) have higher turnover due to unreliable transportation (Faulk and Hicks, 2016) ▪ Among transit riders, 40% of riders miss or are late to work/school at least once a week Increased reliability could reduce turnover and improve economic health for employers along corridor INTRO ONGOING WORK PUBLIC FEEDBACK FUNDING NEXT STEPS
Quality of Life Survey – Safety ▪ “…I was walking my bike home because my route ended early on Sunday and I got hit by a car. If they had the same hours on Sunday that they do on weekdays, I would have been on the bus at that time.” – Survey Respondent ▪ “High speeds pose an obvious problem to safety in terms of pedestrian routes to transit and stop location by creating hostile conditions for transit users” ( Frumkin, 2002). Complete streets can promote safe environments INTRO ONGOING WORK PUBLIC FEEDBACK FUNDING NEXT STEPS
Quality of Life Survey – Civic Engagement ▪ “There should be regular 35% meetings with neighborhoods and associations within the community to keep the residents involved in the happenings amongst public transit” (Wellman, 2015) ▪ 35% of respondents never have positive interactions with their community Stakeholder engagement is a key mechanism for enhancing a positive effect on sense of place for riders INTRO ONGOING WORK PUBLIC FEEDBACK FUNDING NEXT STEPS
