STUDY SESSION: Sonya Wytinck, Director of Research Strategies from National Research Center, Inc will be presenting the DRCOG TOD Survey and Littleton’s results.
BACKGROUND:
In April to June 2016 DRCOG conducted surveys with employers, employees and residents who live or work near current or planned rail or bus rapid transit lines in the metro Denver region. These surveys explored why residents living, and employers and employees working, near rail or bus rapid transit lines made their location decision and if/how they use (or plan to use) the nearby transit facilities.
The results from these surveys will feed into planning for station development, understanding interest in TOD communities and use of transit for commuting and other trips. Joining the DRCOG effort, the City of Littleton provided additional funding to increase the number of residents and businesses contacted near the two stations in Littleton (Downtown and Mineral Ave) to ensure enough responses for analysis at the station level.
Compiled into two reports are the summaries of the resident survey and business survey located near the Littleton rail stations.
