On this email group are Mike, Harry, Stephen, Jim, and Tom. You should all have access to our wiki tool, PBworks. If you didn’t get an invitation or weren’t able to access the site, let me know.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I started making <a href="https://seattletransitpasses-research.pbworks.com/w/page/133613826/Commute%20Survey%201" class="">some tables that I thought might be a good way to display our survey data analysis</a>. But, I’m not an expert on this stuff, so please take a look and let me know what you think. Mike is going to work on merging the data, removing PII, and either cleaning or identifying the cleaning tasks that need to be done.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Harry was able to scrape <a href="https://seattletransitpasses-research.pbworks.com/w/file/133642833/scraped_sbux_loc.xlsx" class="">all the info we need and more</a> about Starbucks locations, so we’re good on that front!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Here’s <a href="https://seattletransitpasses-research.pbworks.com/w/page/133437828/Potential%20CTR%20Targets" class="">the table for collecting info about CTR-affected employers</a> that don’t contract directly with Metro for ORCA programs. Feel free to fill stuff in. I just added a few columns that weren’t there before. Basically, we’re trying to decide whether these could be good targets. (And by the way, if you’re interested in reading about the Commute Trip Reduction law, <a href="https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/projects-and-programs/programs/transportation-options-program/commute-trip-reduction-program/ctr-requirements" class="">you can do that here</a>.)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Finally, <a href="https://seattletransitpasses-research.pbworks.com/w/page/133438026/Research%20Questions:" class="">here’s where we can list tasks that need to be done</a>. I’m hoping all these pages are pretty easy to navigate to and between, just wanted to send some links to start things off.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you have some time & aren’t sure what to work on, email me and we’ll figure something out!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- Katie</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
