    Customer Service Performance September 2020 West Coast Express

    Customer Service Performance September 2020 West Coast Express © Synovate Table Of Contents Highlights and Recommendations 3 Project Objectives 8 Methodology 9 Detailed Findings 12 WCE Performance 13 Trends in Transit Usage Among WCE Riders 22 Trends in WCE Usage 29 Customer Profiles 36 APPENDICES Appendix A – Survey Instrument 2 Highlights and Recommendations The revised West Coast Express Customer Service Performance Survey was launched in March 2003. The survey was redesigned to focus solely on the aspects of service that are most positively correlated with system performance ratings from customers. In addition, the redesigned survey implements the Transportation Research Board’s Impact Score Method to identify and prioritize those service attributes that are most negatively impacting the largest number of customers. This will assist in the prioritization of service improvements. 3 Highlights and Recommendations • Many of the significant shifts in top ratings for WCE service aspects may be attributable to riders’ changing perceptions and expectations as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 virus. As of March 11th, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and by March 16th the BC provincial government recommended stay- at-home directives and physical distancing precautions, which has greatly impacted the daily lives of transit riders. While restrictions have eased in recent months as the provincial government has moved BC into Phase 3 of its Restart Plan (which allows for safe travel and re-opening of businesses such as restaurants/bars), concern around the COVID-19 virus is highly relevant for the general public. As a result, the proportion of Captive WCE Riders has increased directionally (36%, up from 29% last period), which may have an impact on the results throughout the report.
