9.0 - Page 31 <br /> ATTACHMENT 2: EXCERPTS FROM CITY OF REDWOOD CITY EMPLOYEE COMMUTE SURVEY AND <br /> STANFORD STUDENT ANALYSIS <br /> City of Redwood City, Employee Transportation Survey Results (September 2015) <br /> This survey is designed to help you improve your employees' commute. Shorter, less stressful <br /> commutes benefit employees individually. They also benefit your organization, as your employees <br /> arrive more rested. And, evidence suggests that employers whose employees use ridesharing <br /> alternatives have reduced absenteeism and improved employee retention. Finally, improving your <br /> employees' commute benefits the community. Encouraging your employees to rideshare removes cars <br /> from the road, reducing congestion and improving air quality. <br /> At your organization, 202 of the 537 employees in your organization participated in the on-line survey <br /> for a response rate of 38 percent. This survey was conducted from August 20 to September 4, 2015. <br /> Your goal is to reduce the drive-alone rate and increase the use of commute alternatives. Your impact <br /> on congestion, parking and pollution will be greatest by getting commuters into modes such as transit, <br /> walking and bicycling that do not involve bringing a vehicle. <br /> Table 1 -Commute Mode Monday Through Sunday Combined <br /> Percent <br /> Mode Drove alone 77% <br /> Carpooled (2 to 6 people) 9% <br /> Vanpooled (7 to 15 people) - <br /> Took public transit 8% <br /> Took a shuttle 0% <br /> Rode a motorcycle 0% <br /> Biked 1% <br /> Walked 3% <br /> I had a compressed work week day off 0% <br /> I worked from home for a regular work day 1% <br /> I worked at a different location than my usual place 1% <br /> Total 100% <br /> *Note: This table excludes instances where respondents selected "I <br /> didn't work (because of day off, vacation, sick, other)' <br />
