How Often? <br /> <br />Once a week 26 14.5% <br />2 times a week 27 15.1% <br />3 or more times a week 62 34.6% <br />Once a month or less 47 26.3% <br />~lan~) 17 9.5 % <br /> <br />The frequency of use for the social service agency transportation is notably high. Over 64 % <br />of the respondents use these services at least on a weekly basis. Moreover, within that group, <br />most of the respondents are, in fact, using these services three or more times a <br />week--indicating the importance of transit services to this age group. <br /> <br />Do you travel to a job or other activities such as medical appointments outside of the <br />immediate area and would you use public transportation to conunute there? <br /> <br />Salisbu~ VA Hospital 16 <br />Bowman 1 <br />Charlotte/Carolinas Med. Center/Presbyterian 26 <br />Hospital <br />UNC Hospital 2 <br />Charlotte/Other 32 <br />Blank/No 102 <br /> <br />8.9% <br />0.6% <br />14.5% <br /> <br />1.2% <br />17.8% <br />57.0% <br />t00 <br /> <br />Over half of those surveyed did not respond to this question--this could mean that trip making <br />outside the immediate area is varied and episodic rather than following established/regular <br />travel patterns. Those who did respond indicate that Charlotte and the Medical <br />Center/Presbyterian Hospital would be their primary destinations if public transportation <br />services were available. It is interesting to note overall that 77 respondents (43%) provide a <br />favorable response to potential transit use. This suggests that existing demand responsive <br />services do not necessarily satisfy the full transportation demand, and that mode shift is <br />possible perhaps at a lower cost. <br /> <br />When you travel to work or elsewhere, how many miles do you routinely travel one-way <br />to your destination? <br /> <br />0-5 26 24.8% <br />5-10 63 60.0% <br /> <br />Gunnett Fleming <br />ENGINEERS AND PLANNERS <br /> <br />25 <br /> <br /> <br />
