Travel Choice Questions Block
In the Travel Choice Questions Block, each respondent will be given a pre-determined survey
version (14 total versions). Within each survey version, three travel time savings, difference in trip
characteristics, and additional cost combination questions will be shown to the respondent. The
travel time savings and additional cost is based on a percentage of the total travel time and travel
cost answered in Questions TC.2 and TC.3, respectively. For example, if it took Respondent A 60
minutes and $100 to reach their charter fishing site and the travel time savings and additional
costs are both 10%, based on the survey version, then minutes would appear as 6 minutes
and <$XX> would appear as $10. The range for the three categories may change after additional
testing, but an example range for each category is as follows:
•
•
•
TC.1
Travel time saved == [5%, 10%]
What would be different == [“Route”, “Mode”, “Schedule”, “Route and mode”, “Route
and schedule”, “Mode and schedule”, “Route, mode, and schedule”]
Additional costs == [1%, 5%, 10%]

TC.4 Suppose that you had the opportunity to shorten the time you traveled to where
you went charter fishing on this trip (Option A). This could occur from a change
in the route you traveled, a change in your travel schedule, or the type of
transportation you use. Changing your schedule, route, or how you traveled could
result in additional costs or fees.

If two or more alternatives (Option A, Option B, and/or Option C) are chosen when compared to
the respondent’s original trip (“Your Trip” option), in Questions TC.4, TC.5, and TC.6, then we
will randomly select two of the three chosen alternatives to show in Question TC.7. If only two
alternatives are chosen, then the two chosen alternatives will be shown in Question TC.7.
If one or fewer alternatives are chosen when compared to the respondent’s original trip, then we
will SKIP Question TC.7.
