Klingle Road Transportation
Travel Study
Telephone Survey
This is being mailed
today to 500 households in the Klingle Road area from DDOT:
The Department of Transportation, in
partnership with the Federal Highway Administration is conducting a
Transportation Travel Survey as part of the Klingle Road
Environmental Impact Study (EIS).
As a component of this study,
representatives of DDOT, and their contractor NuStats, will
interview residents in your area. Your participation is greatly
appreciated because it will help DDOT better understand the travel
patterns of households in the communities adjacent to Klingle Road.
If you choose to participate in this important survey, you will
receive a phone call from an associate of NuStats, on behalf of
DDOT. During the first phone call, NuStats will collect information
about your household, including how many vehicles are available to
members of your household. Your response will aid DDOT in
accurately capturing the existing transportation patterns in your
community.
Once you agree to participate in the study, you will be asked to
keep a diary of where, when, and how you make trips for a one-day
period. Many people do not realize how many trips they make in a
single day until they keep a diary. I am sure you will find it
interesting. Please rest assured; all information provided through
this survey is strictly confidential and will only be used for the
Klingle Road EIS.
Sincerely,
Dan Tangherlini
Director, DDOT
