PROGRAMMER: SHOW LIST OF CITIES IN (STATE FROM S1C/S1D). PROVIDE “CITY/TOWN NOT FOUND” AND “DON’T KNOW/REFUSED” AS RESPONSES FOR EACH STATE LIST.

Interviewer: Confirm spelling of city with respondent. As you type, a list of cities matching what you typed so far will be presented. The list will become more focused and fewer cities will be presented as you type in more letters of the city. Choose appropriate response.

PROGRAMMER: CONSULT LIST OF QUALIFYING CITIES FOR EACH STATE. IF CITY MENTIONED IS A QUALIFYING CITY, CONTINUE WITH S2A. OTHERWISE THANK AND TERMINATE.

SET [HOME CITY] = (Home City from S1E/Washington, DC from S1C/S1D)

The following questions ask whether the respondent’s usual commute to work trip qualifies as an interregional trip and would therefore be relevant for our model. If the respondent has an interregional commute, that commute trip will be the reference trip for the SP choice exercises. We will collect data on commuter trips by all modes to this location and then randomly select a mode to use as the reference trip.

S2A. Now I’d like you to think about trips for the purpose of daily commuting. Did you commute in the past 12 months to a state outside of (Home State from S1C/S1D)?

1 Yes Continue

2 No Skip to S3A

3 Don’t know/Refused Skip to S3A

PROGRAMMER: SHOW LIST OF CITIES IN (STATE FROM S2B). PROVIDE “CITY/TOWN NOT FOUND” AND “DON’T KNOW/REFUSED” AS RESPONSES FOR EACH STATE LIST.

Interviewer: Confirm spelling of city with respondent. As you type, a list of cities matching what you typed so far will be presented. The list will become more focused and fewer cities will be presented as you type in more letters of the city. Choose appropriate response.

PROGRAMMER: CONSULT LIST OF QUALIFYING CITIES FOR EACH STATE, AND CHECK THAT ORIGIN AND DESTINATION CITY PAIR MEETS LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL CRITERIA. IF CITY MENTIONED MEETS BOTH QUALIFICATIONS, CONTINUE WITH S2D. OTHERWISE SKIP TO S3A.

SET [Commute City] = (Commute City from S2C/Washington, DC from S2B)

S2D. How many days in a typical week you commute to (Commute City from S2C/Washington, DC from S2B)? (1-7, 8=Don’t Know, 9=Refused)

PROGRAMMER: IF RESPONDENT HAS INDICATED AT LEAST ONE COMMUTE TRIP TO AREA IN S2D (1-7), ASK S2E. OTHERWISE, SKIP TO S3A.

S2E. Of the (Number from S2D) times in a typical week you commuted, how many times did you travel by (ROTATE AND READ MODES)? (0-7; 9=DK/Ref) (RECONCILE RESPONSES TO NUMBER FROM S.2D)

S2E # By Mode of Transportation
1. Passenger Car/Truck/Van	2. Plane	3. Train	4. Bus

PROGRAMMER: IF RESPONDENT ANSWERED S2E, SKIP ALL QUESTIONS IN S3 SERIES AND GO DIRECTLY TO MAIN QUESTIONNAIRE.

The following questions will determine if the respondent took any qualifying interregional non-commute trip. The list of states comprising the region of interest for this study will be randomized so as to not bias the respondent into thinking about the most recent trip or the most frequently visited place. The first such trip that is identified will be used as the location of the reference trip. We will collect data on trips by all modes and purposes to this location and then randomly select a mode-purpose combination to use as the reference trip. In addition to providing this basis of the reference trip, the data on number of traips by mode and purpose will also provide information on overall shares by mode and purpose within markets, supplementing other available aggregate data.

S3A. Now I’m going to ask you about trips which you may have taken in the past 12 months to states beyond the state you live in for any reason other than daily commuting. This may include business trips or leisure which include vacation trips, or family occasions or other non-business reasons. Have you taken any business or leisure trips in the past 12 months?

1. Yes CONTINUE

2. No SKIP TO TEXT BEFORE D-1 I’m going to read a list of states. As I read each one, please tell me if you have taken any non-commute trips from your home to that state in the past 12 months.

Have you traveled to (State) in the past 12 months for reasons other than daily commuting? Have you traveled to (Next state)?

PROGRAMMER: RANDOMIZE ORDER OF STATES presented. DO NOT INCLUDE RESPONDENT’S HOME state from S1c/S1d.

IF “NO” OR “DK/REF” TO ANY STATE, KEEP ASKING THE NEXT RANDOMIZED STATE. IF NO OTHER STATES LEFT TO ASK ABOUT, SKIP TO TEXT BEFORE D-1.

IF “YES” TO A STATE IN S3A, ASK S3B FOR THAT STATE. HOWEVER, IF S3A = 11 (WASHINGTON, DC), NO NEED TO ASK S3B. JUST CHECK THAT ORIGIN AND DESTINATION CITY PAIR MEETS LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL CRITERIA. IF YES, SKIP TO INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE S3D. IF NO, ASK THE NEXT RANDOMIZED STATE IN LIST. IF NOT OTHER STATES LEFT TO ASK ABOUT, SKIP TO TEXT BEFORE D-1.

Main Mode Choice Trade-Off Questions

In the following section, respondents are asked 6 Stated Preference choice exercises that relate to one way reference trip for that respondent. The actual mode the respondent used for the reference trip is always ModeA. Two other modes are randomly selected by the program to be available as alternatives.

The alternatives are described by the (one-way) total travel time, total cost, and schedule. Total travel time is the sum of access time, station waiting time, line haul time, transfer time (if relevant) and egress time.

Total cost is the sum of the (one-way) access costs, fare, and egress costs. For the passenger Car/Truck/Van option, cost is the sum of gas costs, tolls, and parking fees.

Schedule is described as departures every “X minutes” or “X hours.” Schedule is not described for the passenger Car/Truck/Van option.

Estimates of the current average values for these descriptors for each mode and origin zone/destination pair are derived from transportation network models of all the modes. These values, called “base” values are contained in a lookup database. that is referenced by the CATI program.

If the respondent provided values of fares are within a reasonable range of the values found in the lookup database, the program will adapt the base values to include the respondent provided information. In addition, the program will use the actual reported cost and travel time from respondents who used auto, regardless of database estimate.

The first choice exercise asks respondents to choose a mode based on the “base” characteristics of the three alternative modes. The next five choice exercises modify the characteristics of the available alternatives using percent changes over or under the base values.

For an individual respondent, only two of the three characteristics will change from the base values. One group of respondents (those receiving version 1) will see travel cost and travel time vary, but schedule will remain unchanged from the base values. Version 2 will vary travel time and schedule and keep travel cost fixed. Version 3 will vary schedule and travel cost and keep travel time fixed.

There are also subversions of the survey whereby the order of the two characteristics is reversed. For instance, version 1a lists time first followed by cost while version 1b lists cost first followed by time.

Available modes include:

• “High Speed Train” (Where Database file is Not #N/A)

• “Regional Train”

• “Commuter Train” (Where Database file is Not #N/A)

• “Metropolitan Train” (Where Database file is Not #N/A, randomized with or without a transfer)

• “Passenger Car/Truck/Van”

• “Plane” (Where Database file is Not #N/A) (Note: Same as if [Air_Available]=1)

• “Bus” (Where Database file is Not #N/A) (Note: Same as if [Bus_Available]=1)

Select three modes for trade-off questions as follows:

If [Actual Mode] = “Passenger Car/Truck/Van” OR “Plane” OR “Bus”, Set [MODEA] = [Actual Mode]

If [Q1] = 1, [MODEA] = “High Speed Train”

If [Q1] = 2, 8 OR 9, [MODEA] = “Regional Train”

If [Q1] = 3, [MODEA] = “Commuter Train”

Set [MODEB] = RANDOMIZE AMONG AVAILABLE MODES ≠ [MODEA]

Set [MODEC] = RANDOMIZE AMONG AVAILABLE MODES ≠ [MODEA] ≠ [MODEB]

If in setting [MODEA], [MODEB] or [MODEC], the particular mode selected is not available because Database file values for that mode are #N/A, then please select from remaining modes that are still available (not #N/A in Database file and not already selected as [MODEA], [MODEB] or [MODEC]).

Set base values for characteristics of each of the three modes. Variables to be assigned include: [TimeA], [CostA], and [SchedA] associated with [MODEA]; [TimeB], [CostB], and [SchedB] associated with [MODEB]; and [TimeC], [CostC], and [SchedC] associated with [MODEC]. These values will be set based on [Origin Zone] and [Destination Zone] from lookup database. Use modifications where respondent-provided data is available and reasonable. These characteristics include:

• High Speed Train

  • Total Time

  • Total Cost

  • Schedule

• Regional Train

  • Total Time

  • Total Cost

  • Schedule

• Commuter Train

  • Total Time

  • Total Cost

  • Schedule

• Metropolitan Train

  • Total Time

  • Total Cost

  • Schedule

• Plane

  • Total Time

  • Total Cost

  • Schedule

• Bus

  • Total Time

  • Total Cost

  • Schedule

• Car

  • Total Time

  • Total Cost

Where actual mode is rail/air/bus, use respondent-provided fares if within a reasonable range of database values. For chosen car mode, use respondent-provided total cost when provided; otherwise use database values.

For Example (repeat formula for all non Auto modes)

If [MODEA] = “High Speed Train,” check if respondent provided [Rail Fare] is within acceptable database value range (Within ‘Acela Lo’ and ‘Acela Hi’) for rail fare based on [Origin Zone] to [Destination Zone]. If it is, [Fare Diff] = [Rail Fare] – [Acela Fare] from Benchmark reference file, then apply that difference (as an addition if positive; as a subtraction if negative) to [Total Cost] for High Speed Train in database ([Total Cost] = [Total Cost] + [Fare Diff]); otherwise use database value for that zone pair.

If [MODEA] (essentially [Actual Mode])=”Passenger Car/Truck/Van,” [Total Cost] = [Car Fare] if available (that is, none in Q14B-D=999); otherwise use SP database value for that zone pair.

Also if [MODEA]=”Passenger Car/Truck/Van,” use [Auto_Travel_Time] set from Q14A for Total Travel Time.

Randomly assign respondent to one of three sub-groups which will see variations in 2 trip characteristics (Note: these will be [Var1] and [Var2], [Var3] and [Var4], [Var5] and [Var6] referenced in the appropriate grid):

1. travel time and travel cost (use Version 1 questions)

2. travel time and schedule (use Version 2 questions)

3. travel cost and schedule (use Version 3 questions)

Schedule will take one of the following values for each mode:

• “Every 5 minutes”

• “Every 10 minutes”

• “Every 15 minutes”

• “Every 20 minutes”

• “Every 30 minutes”

• “Every Hour”

• “Every Two Hours”

• “Every Three Hours”

• “Every Four Hours”

Use base values for other variables that will not change across trade-off questions. Set high and low values for variables that change as follows:

• TimeHi: randomize among +15%, +30% over base values

• TimeLo: randomize among -15%, -30% under base values

• CostHi: randomize among +15%, +30% over base values

• CostLo: randomize among -15%, -30% under base values

• SchedHi = randomize among next two higher values (e.g., if Schedule = ”Every Hour” then randomize among “Every Two Hours”, Every Three Hours”)

• SchedLo = randomize among next three lower values (e.g., if Schedule = ”Every Hour” then randomize among “Every 30 minutes”, “Every 20 minutes”, “Every 15 minutes”)

Instructions to respondent:

In the next series of questions, I ask you to make a choice about which travel mode you would prefer for that trip from [Origin City] to [Destination City] that you just told me about. For these next questions, I would like you to consider a choose between

• [MODEA];

• [MODEB]; and

• [MODEC].

Provide description of MODEA, MODEB and MODEC if they are rail.

If MODEA, MODEB or MODEC = “Commuter Train”:

Read description of commuter rail: The commuter train is similar to the existing services provided by [CROperator] (name of commuter rail operator in respondent’s home area). It provides passengers with shared bench seating – not individual seats. Seating is not guaranteed so some passengers might have to stand during the busiest times. Service is provided by a single train, so no transfer is required.

If MODEA, MODEB and MODEC = “High Speed Train”:

Read description of High Speed Train: The high-speed train is very similar to Amtrak’s Acela service. It provides passengers with individual seats, as opposed to the shared bench seating on commuter trains. Seating is guaranteed so passengers do not have to stand even during the busiest times. Service is provided by a single train, so no transfer is required.

If MODEA, MODEB and MODEC = ”Regional Train”:

Read description of Regional Train: The regional train is similar to Amtrak’s Regional, Empire, and Keystone service. It provides passengers with individual seats, as opposed to the shared bench seating on commuter trains. Seating is guaranteed so passengers do not have to stand even during the busiest times. Service is provided by a single train, so no transfer is required.

If MODEA, MODEB and MODEC = “Metropolitan Train”:

Read description of Metropolitan Train: The metropolitan train is a proposed new service. It provides passengers with individual seats, as opposed to the shared bench seating on commuter trains. However, like commuter trains, seating is not guaranteed so some passengers might have to stand during the busiest times. (RANDOMIZE: “This service will be provided by a single train, so no transfer is required.”, “This service will be provided by two trains, requiring a transfer, but schedules are coordinated to minimize transfer time and riders purchase just one ticket.”).

Note that, if the trip is made by train, plane or bus, the total travel time information I describe includes all time including getting to and from the airport or station and time waiting at the airport or station. The total cost includes the fare as well as the cost of getting to and from the airport or station.

The SP questions rely on an experimental design that provides for variations in five (5) different variables across three (3) modes. Although the experimental design could have also accommodated a sixth variable, we believe this would make the task too difficult for respondents. Furthermore, the sixth variable is not required when one of the modes is car and one of the variables is schedule, which is not relevant for car. A full orthogonal design generates eight (8) total combinations in the five (5) variables at two levels each, from which six are randomly selected to use in the six SP questions for a given respondent. The tables shown below reflect this same experimental design, with differences between them only reflecting the specific variables that are being used.

Note that the variable levels used for the first mode, which is the current mode used by the respondent, reflect base and high (worse) values and the variable levels used for the other two modes reflect base and low (better) values. This has been done to present alternative choices that are more attractive than the current mode, since little is learned about preferences by presenting non-chosen modes that get even worse.

Version 1 (vary travel time and travel cost and keep schedule fixed)

Please assume that the schedules for [MODEA], [MODEB], and [MODEC] are always the same in every case, with …

• [MODEA] providing service departing [SchedA];

• [MODEB] providing service departing [SchedB]; and

• [MODEC] providing service departing [SchedC]

(where [MODEA], [MODEB], or [MODEC] =”Passenger Car/Truck/Van”, schedule variable does not exist so skip over appropriate MODE and Sched text)
