Data gathered through the Downtown Employee Transportation Survey will provide valuable insights into the parking and commuting issues faced by employees, and the kinds of alternatives and incentives that would provide relief. Results should be available by February.

Many thanks to the employers and employees who participated. Here is a small sampling of the hundreds of suggestions and comments provided:

“More than likely, incentives will be needed to get folks like myself to change their commuting habits.”

“The bike path is my and many others commuter highway, regular plowing in the winter would be very helpful.”

“I’d use the bus A LOT more, if it were available closer than 6 miles from home...”

“Downtown shoppers and diners need access to convenient parking.”

“The parc shuttle has improved my downtown employee experience 3 fold…”
