The transportation management association Movability is seeking participants in its new survey of commuters, specifically their choices for modes of transportation and when they use them to get to work. The nonprofit has enlisted ETC Institute to administer what is expected to be an annual survey regarding travel patterns in Austin. Respondents will also be asked about the origin and destination of their commutes as well as how teleworking options impact their travel. Movability hopes the survey will give planners and policymakers information to invest in infrastructure that will help people access more transportation options. That data will also help the group be more strategic in its outreach, education and planning. The survey is available online.
