Conducting the TRP Annual Survey
ShareTheRide.com
602.262.RIDE (7433)
Why survey?
Assesses current single occupancy
vehicle (SOV) rate and SOV miles rate
Higher response rate = clearer picture of
employees habits & preferences
County may require a resurvey if
response rate is below 60% percent
Alternative to resurvey is “statistical
penalty,” counting all non-respondents as
SOVs or receiving a notice of violation for
a low response rate
30 days to complete the survey

3. Modes for the days you commute to work – 2 days drive
alone, 3 days carpool, etc.
