The aim of this study is to better understand a trip makers’ decision process when travelling between cities in Canada. We are contacting a random sample of people in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) to gather information on their local and intercity trip mode choices. Collected information will be anonymous and stored on secured servers. This data will only be used for research at the University of Toronto. The survey is designed to be as short as possible and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Your cooperation and time are highly appreciated. Please note that at any point in the survey, it is possible to revise previously answered questions. You can also leave the session and complete the survey at a later time (if web cookies are enabled on your internet browser). If you exit the survey accidentally, you can restart using the same link that you used to start the survey; however, in this case it is possible that the entries you have already made may be lost. If you lose your Internet connection for a short time, it is usually possible to continue normally once the connection is restored, as long as your browser is still open at the page you were on. Yours sincerely, Billy Wong M.ASc Candidate Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto Appendix Page 7 Quebec-Windsor Intercity Modal Choice Survey Other What is intercity travel? Intercity travel are any trips made where the destination is not located in the same urban area boundaries as the origin location. For example, a trip from Toronto to Montreal would be considered an intercity trip. How can I make an intercity trip? Intercity trips can be made through a variety of travel modes. The most popular modes of travel are personal vehicles, bus (such as Megabus and Greyhound), rail (such as Via Rail), or airplane. Non­motorized modes are not normally feasible for such trips. What about trips within the GTA (ie between Mississauga and Markham)? For the scope of this research, trips between municipalities in the GTA are considered local trips. However, we are still interested in understanding the frequency of travel within the GTA compared to an individual's intercity trip frequency. Other What about trips between the GTA and Hamilton? Under the scope of this project, trips between Hamilton and the GTA are considered intercity trips. 1. If you any any further questions about intercity trips, please feel free to ask in the box below. these suggestions will be helpful for future research purposes.

For each of the six situations presented, choose the transportation type that you are most likely to take given the information presented. For bus, rail, and airplane travel types, there are a number of methods to get to the departure station. For example, an individual from downtown Toronto may use the TTC to get to Pearson International Airport to fly to Montreal. For intercity bus trips (Megabus or Greyhound), the departure station is the bus terminal at Toronto Coach Terminal located at Bay & Dundas, near Other the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto. For intercity train trips (Via Rail or high speed rail), the departure station is at Union Station in downtown Toronto. For intercity airplane trips (Air Canada or Westjet), the departure station is at Pearson International Airport located in Mississauga. This stated preference section is independent from any previous trips that may have been made. For each of the six situations, you are travelling to a chosen location in Montreal from your home location.
