Micromobility Survey Responses.csv

Respondents of this survey consist of both avid e-scooter users and non-users at UCLA, and addresses respondents’ scooter parking behaviors and understanding which incentives to parking scooters correctly most resonated with them. The survey was created using Google Form and distributed to the UCLA campus community through social media and listservs. The group posted the survey among UCLA-specific groups on Facebook as well as on other group-messaging apps (e.g. GroupMe) to reach as wide a sampling of the UCLA community as possible from April 17th until May 8th, 2020. The online survey consisted of 12 questions inquiring about topics including students’ parking behavior, parking preference and e-scooter behavior, e-scooter parking on campus, and e-scooter impacts and incentives. To efficiently gather responses, the survey’s questions were mostly multiple choice, sometimes using a sliding scale to appropriately quantify individuals’ responses. For instance, the baseline question, “How often do you ride e-scooters?” contained a range of answers including “never, 1-2 times a quarter, 1-2 times a month, once a week, 2-4 times a week, and daily.” Based on an individual’s answer to this starting question, they would either be guided towards questions more focused on their personal e-scooter behavior or e-scooter parking in general. One question was fill-in-the-blank, as it requested individuals to type in possible locations where e-scooter parking is lacking. The survey results of multiple choice questions were displayed as pie charts and qualitative data was collated and grouped into broad categories for analysis. Finally, all survey questions involving rankings were averaged out to determine the weighted average ranking for each option presented according to SurveyMonkey’s average ranking formula.
