Its mission is to reduce the number of <br />single occupant vehicles traveling in, to and through San Mateo County, reducing vehicle <br />emissions resulting in improved air quality. <br />A part of the Alliance's Work Plan is to assist cities who may require study of and <br />implementation of commute alternative programs to reduce traffic congestion based upon <br />the city's specific transportation needs. To evaluate commute alternative needs for the <br />City of Redwood City, the Alliance brought together a group of interested Redwood City <br />staff persons and citizens (stakeholder group) to determine how best to implement a <br />commute alternative program in the City of Redwood City which eventually resulted in <br />this shuttle survey report. <br />The stakeholder group met several times prior to the survey being conducted. A list of <br />the stakeholder group members is attached. This stakeholder group provided feedback <br />for the survey questions and how the surveys were to be distributed. <br />Some of the key comments provided by the stakeholder group included ensuring that <br />individuals from specific groups such as youth, the Senior community, local residents <br />who are employed and local residents who are not fluent in English would be included to <br />provide their transportation needs as a part ofthe survey report. <br />This Redwood City Shuttle Survey was conducted through a variety of channels <br />including local businesses and their employees. The stakeholders hoped to understand <br />transportation needs not just of the residents, but of commuters to jobs in Redwood City. <br />The survey was provided both electronically and as a regular paper survey (with business <br />reply postage paid included). The survey was made available in English and in Spanish <br />both online and as a paper survey, The survey was conducted in late 2005 and early 2006. <br />To encourage participation, survey respondents were entered into a raffle to win a $50 <br />gift certificate to Target (two gift certificates were available) and also were entered to win <br />a $10 gift certificate that can be used for Redwood City Parks and Recreation classes (50 <br />gift certificates were available). <br />2 <br />~- ---...- ~._-- .~~_..- -'-'- -....--. - - <br />
