• Abstract:
  The Wisconsin Commission on Transportation Finance and Policy was created in the 2011-2013 biennial state budget to ; identify and evaluate transportation finance options to address needs into the future. As part of its scope, the Commission ; needed to collect public input and evaluate perceptions that could relate to both the concept and implementation of certain ; revenue options. ; The intent of the research is to provide a structured and objective method to obtain public assessment of alternative ; financing mechanisms to support the state’s public transportation network. The focus groups provide a complement to other ; public input measures being used by the Commission. The work has been specifically approved by the commission and will ; play a key part in the group's analysis of future finance options. ; During the summer of 2012, at the request of the Department of Transportation (DOT), researchers with the University of ; Wisconsin Survey Center (UWSC) conducted four focus groups on matters related to transportation in Wisconsin. ; Specifically, the groups explored motorists’ assessment of highway pavement and congestion conditions, their preferred ; future scenario of transportation in Wisconsin, and their willingness to pay to support that future scenario. The groups ; provided a setting in which a cross section of the state’s motorists could respond to a series of questions relating to ; transportation in the state. This report summarizes the results of those groups. ; NOTE: A fifth focus group was conducted with users of a local transit system. Results of that group are presented as an ; addendum to the report.
