Instead, the survey responses offer qualitative insights into lived experiences on corridors, and their responses to and suggestions about possible regionwide programs. The 2020 Transportation Investment Measure Survey was made public on May 6 and closed on July 8, 2019. 3,458 responses were collected. Overall, survey responses highlighted strong support for transportation improvements and investments that prioritize pedestrian and bicycle safety, as well as improvements that aim to mitigate and decrease greenhouse gas emissions and to support safe traffic flow with strong support for prioritizing transit during peak travel times. The summary below includes highlights from each of the main sections of the survey – providing a snapshot of the key learnings, emerging themes, and responses from survey participants. The summary is split into three core sections: Demographics, Corridors, and Transportation Improvements. Survey participants were invited to respond to a series of optional demographic questions, including the zip code of their home address; information about their gender and racial/ethnic identity, as well as information pertaining to any experience or identity of living with a disability, age, and household income. Most questions provided a variety of drop-down options, responses were optional, and provided room to write in additional answers or responses they felt were not provided within the menu of choices built into the survey. Out of those who completed the optional demographic question, responses highlighted the following trends: Most respondents (55%) lived within a Multnomah County Zip Code 11% of survey participants self-identified with a racial and/or ethnic identity other than white, with 89% of respondents identifying as white. 53% of respondents identified as Woman, 44% as Man, 2% identified as Gender Non- Conforming and 1% self-identified as Transgender 46% of respondents were under the age of 44 15% of respondents identified as living with a disability, with 5% of those defining their disability as Ambulatory (which was defined as ‘unable or having serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs’) 61% of survey respondents had a household income (pre-tax) over $74,999 These findings when presented in comparison to demographics for the region showed the survey respondents to be mostly representative of the demographics of the Metro region as a whole, with the exception of age and household income (in which survey participants presented as older than the median age, and experienced a household income higher than the median household income for the Metro region). A full summary of these demographic findings has been included in Appendix A.
