Vancouver, WA Destination Downtown TDM 2012 Results

[Jennifer Campos]

If you are interested we just finished up our final report for our Destination Downtown 2012 pilot outreach program.  I have attached a copy of the report and below are some quick snapshots of the results:

• Outreach for the pilot program commenced in April 2012, with the project team engaging 140 businesses and 325 individuals in the first year program. Destination Downtown garnered 235 participants – who registered and tracked their commute trips online in order to earn rewards – and distributed 225 personalized Commute Kits – customized packets of transportation information delivered by foot or by bicycle.
• Results from pre- and post-program participant surveys indicate that the drive-alone commute mode share decreased 8.0 percentage points for reporting program participants.

• Walking increased 1.7 percentage points, transit increased 3.9 percentage points, and the carpooling mode share rose 4.2 percentage points

• Post-program surveys revealed a high degree of participant satisfaction with the program:

  • 89% of participants were satisfied with the Destination Downtown program
  • 84% indicated that the program encouraged them to visit downtown locations
  • 62% stated that the information they received helped them reduce drive-alone trips
  • 37% indicated that they are driving alone to work less often compared to six months ago
  • 85% want to see the program continued in the future
