Table 3 <br />Use of Transportation Modes <br />Drive Yourself <br />Always <br />82.0 <br />Often Sometimes <br />12.4 <br />2.6 <br />Never <br />2.9 <br />Others Drive <br />6.1 <br />13.9 <br />45.1 <br />35.0 <br />Walk <br />12.0 <br />21.8 <br />38.4 <br />27.8 <br />Bike <br />6.2 <br />11.0 <br />28.2 <br />54.5 <br />Golf Cart <br />2.9 <br />4.8 <br />8.8 <br />83.4 <br />Public Transportation <br />0.6 <br />1.2 <br />6.7 <br />91.5 <br />Private Car Service <br />1.0 <br />1.2 <br />21.6 <br />76.2 <br />Special Transportation Services <br />0.3 <br />0.4 <br />2.5 <br />96.8 <br />The vast majority (82%) always drive themselves with no important differences related to home <br />location. About 45% are sometimes driven by friends or family. About one-third say they always or <br />often walk and only 17% always or often ride a bike or use a golf cart. Use of public transportation <br />ranged from less than 1% in Zone 2 to 23% in Zone 1. About three-quarters never use a private car <br />service, such as Uber or Lyft, with the rate being somewhat higher in Zone 2. Only 3% report ever <br />using special transportation services available for seniors or persons with disabilities. This seems <br />reasonable considering how many drive their private cars. <br />2. Transportation Infrastructure. The next series of questions asked about the availability of <br />various infrastructure related to transportation. The results are illustrated in Figure 8. <br />Figure 8 <br />Transportation Infrastructure <br />Readable Traffic and Street Signs <br />Public Parking <br />Neighborhood Streets Well Lit <br />Affordable Public Transportation <br />Neighborhood Sidewalks Well Maintained MENNEIRMEMIMINIUM <br />Safe Intersections <br />Safe Pedestrian Crossings <br />Separate Bike & Pedestrian Paths <br />■ Excellent a Good Fair Poor <br />N = 1336-1742 <br />While the vast majority rated the availability of these amenities excellent or good, it is important <br />to examine the deficiencies. Availability of separate bike and pedestrian paths was rated only <br />fair or poor by over half (51%) of the respondents. Similarly, over one-third (39%) gave these <br />negative ratings for well -lit neighborhood streets and 34% for affordable public transportation. <br />82 <br />
