[TRU Research] PSRC data project

[Katie Wilson]

Hi folks,

On Monday I met with the Port of Seattle's Environmental Program manager working on ground transportation policy for SeaTac airport— which apparently has a horrendous drive-alone rate, by the way. He mentioned that the Puget Sound Regional Council’s survey data shows that lower-wage workers are less likely to get transit benefits through work. It would be a good mini-project someone could take on to look at PSRC’s 2017 Travel Survey data <https://www.psrc.org/household-travel-survey-program> to try to find that, plus any other info we think is relevant to our project.

It’s probably useful for more than one person to look at the data, but if you’re going to pursue the transit benefits piece in particular, say something so we don’t duplicate efforts.

Cheers,
Katie
