2014 Survey of Commute Patterns among Queen's University Employees

The objective of this survey was to investigate commute patterns among Queen's employees and to assess whether transit improvements have stimulated interest and willingness among Queen's employees to take Kingston Transit to commute to work. The survey data collected here will also serve as a baseline for subsequent surveys that will assess change in commute patterns to Queen's over time. The findings from this research will offer insights to researchers interested in the impacts of public transit as population health interventions, as well as to Queen's University in terms of understanding how members of their community could make better use of a key public resource in Kingston.

本调研的目标为探究女王大学员工的通勤模式，并评估公交服务优化是否激发了女王大学员工选择金斯顿公交（Kingston Transit）通勤上班的兴趣与出行意愿。本次采集的调研数据还将作为基准基线，用于后续旨在随时间推移评估女王大学员工通勤模式变化的调研。本研究的发现将为两类主体提供洞见：一是关注作为公共健康干预措施的公共交通影响的研究者，二是女王大学，助力其明晰校内社区成员应如何更充分地利用金斯顿当地的关键公共资源。
