This report describes the design, administration, and analysis of the Origin/Destination survey of users of the Orlando-Orange County Expressway System. The basic survey form consisted of a letter-sized paper with the questionnaire on one side and a return address, cover letter, and title on the other side. The questionnaire has 13 questions that cover trip purpose, time, frequency, vehicle occupancy, trip origin, trip destination, off/on ramps, and some of the trip-maker characteristics. These trip-maker characteristics are occupation, age, and income. The survey was also published on the World Wide Web at www.catss.ucf.edu/survey. A total of 180,000 surveys were scheduled for distribution. The survey distribution was scheduled starting from November 2nd through November 21st . The survey distribution was planned over three major periods on the weekdays: morning peak period (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM), off-peak period (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM), and evening peak period (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM). For the weekdays the survey was carried out over one period from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. A total of 167,149 surveys were at the ten mainline toll plazas and the eastbound Conway Ramp Plaza (to account for vehicles coming from 1-4 and exiting at Conway), and mailed to E-Pass users. For non E-Pass customers, 100,960 survey forms were distributed. For E-Pass users. 66.189 surveys were mailed to a random sample via bulk mail with a cover letter. This number represents approximately a third of the E-Pass users. A total of 21,137 responses were received, accounting for 12.7% response rate. The report includes a detailed analysis for trip characteristics, trip-maker characteristics, origin-destination patterns, and travel trends. |
