Final report available here: https://www.oldspokeshome.com/one-mobility-audit The Old North End (ONE) is Burlington’s most economically, ethnically, and socially diverse community. The historically working-class neighborhood is a vibrant collective of arts, food, small business, and community-centered services, and is home to much of Burlington’s lower-income and migrant populations. This neighborhood mobility audit by the Old Spokes Home (bike shop and non-profit) sought to identify transportation investments that will improve pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access for traditionally underserved residents within the ONE to area jobs and essential services. A survey of those residents helped the project team to understand residents’ specific experiences, needs and barriers. Recommendations are made to enhance walking, biking, and transit connections to area jobs and essential services (e.g., shopping, educational centers, medical care facilities, etc.) at a neighborhood level, as well as suggestions on how to involve and engage traditionally underserved populations in planning projects.

The Third iteration of this public attitude survey with results extrapolated to all county residents and drawing trends from previous surveys in 2000 and 2006.

Since 2000, the CCRPC has regularly assessed the public’s attitudes on transportation related issues. Previous public surveys were undertaken in 2000, 2006 and 2012.  The surveys are collected from a random sampling of CC residents in order to achieve results that can be reliably extrapolated, within a margin of error, to the entire County population. This latest survey, conducted in April/May 2018, largely replicated the previous versions to note any historical attitudinal shifts. The purpose is to objectively measure public opinion regarding performance of the region’s transportation system and identify strategies to address existing and future deficiencies.

The Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization contracted with National Research Center, Inc. to conduct a region wide transportation survey. The 2006 Chittenden County Transportation Survey provided residents and employees working in the County the opportunity to rate the quality of life as it relates to transportation, as well as service delivery and their satisfaction with travel and public transportation in the County. The survey also permitted residents to share their priorities for transportation planning and resource allocation. This is the second iteration of the Chittenden County Transportation Survey since the baseline study was conducted in 2000.

The Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) contracted with Resource Systems Group to conduct the Chittenden County Year 2000 Transportation Survey. The primary objectives of the survey were to measure satisfaction with the county’s transportation system among those who live and work in the county and to gather public opinion on how future transportation dollars should be spent. By asking respondents their opinion on a wide range of transportation issues including road maintenance, sidewalk quality, public transportation, and bike paths, the CCMPO is better able to understand which areas the general public feels require the most attention. The results of the survey will be used to aid in the formulation of the county’s 2025 Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
