UCLA Commuter Perceptions Survey
● Designed for general commuter population
● 11 questions● Electronic random
distribution to 1,800 faculty, staff, students
● Home address within 5 mile radius of campus
● n = 240

Barriers to Walking
*Other: physical ability, schedule, environment

Walking Incentives
*Other: shorter distance, affordable housing near campus, more time, family obligations, other safety concerns

Bicycling Incentives
*Other: lack of bike access (e.g. cost, bike sharing), other safety concerns (e.g. less traffic and smog, more bicyclists)

Open-Ended
● “Having a dedicated bike lane would increase my desire to bike to work.”
● “...consistent bike lanes instead of ones that only last for a few blocks at a time.”
● “...need a bike path that is protected with a physical barrier.”

My commute is inconvenienced by traffic-related issues.
I support the proposed bicycle-friendly access route.
How likely would you be to use the bicycle route?
![Page 17: Measuring Perceptions of Active Transportation at UCLA](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816023550346895dcf26ef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Which bicycling improvements, if any, would increase the likelihood that you would bicycle on this route?

Additional Comments
● “I often bring my bike to cycle to RR when I have to commute and find it much easier than driving, but safety is an issue.
● “While I would be excited to have the opportunity to bike between SM and RRMC, it would still scare me. There would have to be a huge emphasis on cars not taking out cyclists!!!”
● “I stopped biking due to the difficulty of the Wilshire-405 cross section. It feels very unsafe… If safer, I would love to bike to work!”
