Abstract:The Transit Mall Pedestrian/Parking Survey is one of three surveys assessing the Portland Downtown Transit Mall. The primary purposes of the Transit Mall Pedestrian/Parking Survey are to measure attitudes toward the Mall and to measure the impacts of the Mall on people driving and parking Downtown for reasons other than work. The survey was based on a geographic cluster sampling of pedestrians who had driven and parked Downtown. The survey was limited to eleven locations Downtown: eight on the Transit Mall and three locations within 2 1/2 blocks of the Mall. In-person interviews lasting approximately five minutes were conducted with 302 qualified respondents. A key consideration in the design of the survey was measuring attitudes from different demographic groups. Thus equal numbers of men and women were surveyed and a cross section of respondents in all age groups were interviewed. Because respondents were selected to some degree on the basis of age and sex, and at only eleven locations Downtown, the survey population may not be an actual respondent profile of all people who drive and park Downtown for reasons other than work. Demographic differences in responses are noted throughout the report. In addition, a complete demographic breakdown of questionnaire results is included. This report is divided into the following sections: Conclusions - Summary of the major findings of the survey; Questionnaire Results - Complete listing of the demographic breakdowns of the survey results; Methodology - Summary of the methodology employed in the survey; and Questionnaire: A copy of the questionnaire used in the survey.
