Why participate in the survey?

  • Sharing your mode of travel helps us respond to your needs more precisely
  • Easy way to survey consumers in a way that respects their privacy
  • Encourages consumers to consider other modes of travel on congested streets

The Mode Survey box is a cost-effective alternative to in-person surveys for collecting data from consumers on-site — Locally designed, programmed, manufactured, and tested in the U District.
