Appendix A: CORE 121 Data - 2026
Introduction
Introduction
To gather more specific data around transportation usage by and the beneficially of some of our proposed solutions to Lewis & Clark College's communities, we created a survey. Questions were submitted by students from both sessions of the CORE class and compiled into a Google Form.
The survey was distributed using flyers and network sampling. Flyers were posted in common areas across all campuses. All CORE students were asked to send the survey out through whatever networks they may be a part of, and Liz Safran, our professor, sent out a link through a faculty and staff email group. To incentivize survey responses, we offered a $50 gift card raffle reward as advertised on the flyer.
Due to our network sampling data collection method, a large majority of responses are from either undergraduate campus faculty, undergraduate campus staff, or undergraduate first-years. This makes the generalizability of our findings to any populations aside from the aforementioned three questionable.

Methodology
Methodology
The survey was formatted with the intention of evoking clear and accurate responses by initially dividing respondents into different group affiliations and transportation habits. Respondents were subsequently redirected to different pages with questions specifically directed to their habit group.
The survey instrument can be found below.

Struggles in Reaching Demographics
Struggles in Reaching Demographics
The survey received very few responses from the following populations: Law students, faculty, and staff, graduate campus students, faculty, and staff, undergraduate upperclassmen, and off-campus students at large. The only populations that contributed significantly were undergraduate first-years and undergraduate faculty and staff. This is most likely due to our class's demographics and our use of network sampling. Because all students in this class are first-years, most of our networks also consist of first-years. One network that served us well was an undergraduate listserve that our professor, Liz Safran, reached out to with a link to our survey.
Unfortunately, without a connection to the other campuses, we weren't able to tap into any networks to circulate our survey across those communities.

Appendix B: Helen Tracyzk's Thesis Survey - 2023
Introduction
Introduction
Helen Traczyk is a Lewis & Clark college alumni who graduated in 2023 with a B.A. in Environmental Studies. As part of her capstone thesis, she developed a Google Form survey to collect data on potential shuttle users and their needs & expectations of the Otterbus, previously known as the Pio.
Survey design
Survey design
The survey's design was developed based on research in transportation development and in collaboration with ASB senate member Carly Miller and with the approval of Transportation and Parking. The survey was 18 questions long and distributed to undergraduate students, law students, and graduate students, as well as faculty and staff. The survey was open for about three weeks and collected a total of 189 responses. It was distributed through department email listserves, as well as by physical posters put around campus as well as posted to the Environmental Studies Instagram account. At the Law campus, the poster was sent to the mass email list to all students and was advertised by a student government member. An incentive was provided by giving respondents a chance to win one of three $25 gift cards.

Appendix C: Lewis & Clark College Transportation and Parking Survey - 2025
Introduction
Introduction
Lewis & Clark's Transportation and Parking Office administered a survey in 2025 to bolster understanding of the community's transportation needs and the efficacy of the college's current parking operations. The survey was incentivized with a raffle of 10 $50 Amazon Gift cards.
Methodology
Methodology
The Transportation and Parking Office circulated the survey by using a Lewis & Clark College community-wide email list-serve. The final response rates were 40% from students and 63% from employees. The raw, deidentified data from this survey was provided to the CORE class by Read McFaddin, Assistant Director of Institutional Research at Lewis & Clark College, upon request.
