New York City Transportation Survey

Hello! Thank you for participating in this brief survey. I am a college student researching what people feel about potential improvements to the New York City public transportation system. Your responses are completely anonymous, and will be used to help me understand what people believe will make the daily transportation experience in our city safer and more efficient.

1.Thinking about daily travel in NYC, which of the following options aligns with what you think is the biggest problem with transportation right now?

Subway Performance and Reliability (How often the trains come, delays, commute time, etc)

Cleanliness in Subway Stations and Trains

Subway Safety (Worry of crime or accidents)

Not enough Protected Bike Lanes

Condition of the Roads (Bumpy roads, narrow paths)

Condition of the Sidewalks (Not enough sidewalk spaces, broken or narrow sidewalks)

Bus Service Performance and Reliability (How often the buses come, delays, commute time, etc)

2.If New York City could only make a major investment in expanding ONE of the following transportation areas right now, which would you choose as the top priority?

Improving the trains to become more reliable (faster speeds, and overall enhanced performance

Implementing more sanitation workers to clean the subways

Creating more safety protections (train platform barriers, more officers at stations, etc.)

Creating more protected bike lanes

Fixing the roads (filling in potholes, creating wider spaces, etc.)

Fixing the sidewalks (creating more sidewalks in general, making them even, etc)

Improving bus service (upgrading buses, creating new bus stops, more buses per hour on the road, etc)

3.If a protected bike lane was installed on a route that people regularly travel, how likely do you believe that people would ride a bike there?

More Likely

Less Likely

No Change

4.Do you agree that building new subway lines to reach "transit deserts" ( - neighborhoods that are far from any train station) is an effective solution for reducing car traffic and improving city-wide transportation?

5.In your opinion, how effective would increasing the frequency of bus and subway service (having more buses/trains per hour) be in making daily transportation feel less crowded?

6.To what extent do you agree with the following statement - “I support converting car parking spaces into dedicated bus and bike lanes to improve public transit.”

7.To what extent do you believe that adding more bus lanes would make bus travel significantly faster and more reliable?

8.Do you agree with the following statement - “New York City is doing enough, as of currently, to make sure that public transportation is as efficient and safe as possible”.

Thank you so much for answering!
