About our Commute Habits Survey

The proposal to build a 5-story garage on the site of the Downtown Farmers' Market has been put on ice. As a result of our collective efforts, in September the City Council tabled the first decision on the garage, which was to fund the design. The Public Works Department still wants to build the garage, however.

Our task now is to promote the implementation of “Parking Demand Management” downtown. That means providing incentives for people to commute to work downtown to use modes other than the single-occupant automobile. More alternative commutes means more parking spaces freed up for customers, and less demand for expensive and unsustainable parking structures.

We're starting with a survey of people who work downtown to find out their commuting habits and what incentives would be attractive in supporting a choice of alternative commute modes.

If you work downtown, please click on this link to take the survey on-line. It takes less than 7 minutes to complete.

We also have copies of the survey available for printing, in case you might wish to fill one out by hand instead of on-line. To download a copy, click on either English version or Spanish version.

Thanks very much. If you would like to help the Campaign generate support for Parking Demand Management downtown, please send us an email by clicking here.
