\n\tKing County Metro is using a survey and research by University of Washington Bothell students to help plan service improvements for the University and the Bothell-Woodinville area.<\/p>\n

\n\tA multiple course community-based research project was conducted over winter quarter by students in Santiago Lopez’s GIS 442 Advanced GIS and Shauna Carlisle’s independent study classes with help from students in two of Kari Lerum’s BIS 312 Approaches to Social Research course.<\/p>\n

\n\tThrough this cross-disciplinary collaboration, students learned about social research by designing and carrying out the survey of Bothell and Woodinville residents. 足彩app哪个是正规的 survey asked about possible transit options, such as a shuttle, ride-sharing or van-sharing, possibly with volunteer drivers, and incentives such as reserved park-and-ride parking.
\n\t
\n\t足彩app哪个是正规的s analyzed results with Geographic Information Systems technology. 足彩app哪个是正规的y offered their findings at end-of-quarter presentations in early March to city and Metro officials, said Kara Adams, interim director, Community-Based Learning and Research.
\n\t
\n\tYulia Kit, a sophomore in health studies, says she started the project with very little to no knowledge about the Metro transportation system.
\n\t
\n\t“After analyzing the results from the survey, I feel like I got to understand a lot more about the way that the Metro transportation system works," Kit said. "I really enjoyed getting to see the actual numbers from the survey and having the responsibility of reporting the results to King County.”
\n\t
\n\tKit was surprised by survey results that showed a high income for many bus riders.
\n\t
\n\tUsing cost-distance analysis, the students found that downtown Bothell and Woodinville have relatively good walking accessibility to the Metro network. Among the most-trafficked areas were the Woodinville tourism district, Bothell Park and Ride and Canyon Park. 足彩app哪个是正规的s found residential neighborhoods west of Bothell and south of Woodinville could benefit from additional services.
\n\t
\n\tIt was also interesting that most people were either somewhat satisfied with the Metro system or somewhat dissatisfied, said student researcher Kit. 足彩app哪个是正规的re were no extreme results.
\n\t
\n\t“I expected people to be very opinionated and either love or hate the Metro transportation system,” she said.
\n\t<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\t足彩app哪个是正规的 student survey supported ideas that the city and Metro are considering for alternative methods of transportation in the Bothell area, said Peter Troedsson, Bothell assistant city manager.
\n\t
\n\t“It’s all still in the planning stages but one of the alternative services is a community van,” that would loop between the university and downtown, he said.
\n\t
\n\tThree other alternatives are real-time ridesharing through a smart phone app; VanShare, which transports people from their home to a transit center; and TripPool, which typically carries the same group of people on a regular schedule from their homes to a park and ride or transit center.
\n\t
\n\t“We’re eagerly looking forward to the prospect of establishing a transportation link between the University and the town center, and further on to Woodinville and surrounding areas,” Troedsson said. “This is a chance to further strengthen the ties between the city and the University, as well as to help mitigate some of the congestion in the downtown area. We’re very appreciative of King County Metro’s efforts to develop alternative transportation services in the area.”
\n\t
\n\tMetro is analyzing the survey findings and says it appreciates the student help.
\n\t
\n\t“UW Bothell’s Community-Based Learning and Research program is a great example of integrating the classroom into the community,” said Dan Anderson with the King County Department of Transportation. “We’re grateful for the work the students contributed to the project and for the university’s engagement.”\n

\n\t足彩app哪个是正规的s provided important local insights into travel patterns and needs, Anderson said.
\n\t
\n\t“足彩app哪个是正规的 students asked good questions, raised important issues and brought their experiences to the process.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
