Figure 7. Short Paper Survey (English and Spanish)
What We Heard Key findings from the engagement events and surveys are summarized below. Travel Behavior and Safety Implications
• High levels of car dependency : More than 75% of respondents reported driving every day. This reliance on driving reinforces the need to design streets that reduce crash risks for motorists and better accommodate vulnerable users. • Low walking rates suggest safety or comfort barriers : Over 50% of respondents reported they “Never” or “Almost Never” walk. While this may reflect land use patterns, it may also indicate perceived safety issues such as poor lighting, inadequate crossings, or sidewalk gaps.
