BANFIELD LIGHT RAIL PROJECT THEME STUDY

FEBRUARY, 1984

In February of 1984 Tri-Met commissioned Columbia Research

Center to conduct a survey of Portland metropolitan area

residents to determine the degree of awareness of the

Banfield Light Rail Project and to test their reaction to

three different themes which may be used to promote the

project.

Four hundred residents were randomly selected for the

telephone survey which was conducted between 5:00 pm and 9:00

pm during weekday evenings. The sample of 400 results in an

error margin of +/- 5 percent on a dichotomous question with

an approximate 50-50% response split.

The purpose of this report is to summarize the findings of

this study. Results are presented for respondents living in

Multnomah County, which is the area directly impacted by the

project, and those living elsewhere in the metropolitan area.

1

AWARENESS OF THE PROJECT

Two thirds of the respondents were able to give some reason

for the major construction project being completed along the

Banfield Freeway and Burnside Street east of Interstate 205.

Within Multnomah County, 70 percent felt they could give some

explanation of the project, compared to 61 percent of the

respondents living outside of that area.

In reality, 59.6 percent were able to actually provide a

description of the project without prompting, and a portion

of those responses were incorrect (see Appendix A). There

was very little difference between the two groups in their

ability to provide an unaided description of the project.

Those who could not describe the project were asked whether

they remembered seeing of hearing anything about the Banfield

Light Rail Project. Given this extra prompting, only 11

percent still indicated that they were not aware of the

project. Again, those living in Multnomah County were more

aware of the project (91.8 percent compared to 86.2 percent).

About one third of the respondents

Tri-Met was responsible for the Light

percent said they didn•t know who

correctly stated that

Rail project. and 24

was responsible. The

relatively large numbers of

comments such as a group

"other" responses (9%) included

effort by several governments,

2

politicians, taxpayers, the construction companies, Multnomah

County, Amtrak, some non-union company, the Urban Mass

Transit Administration, Portland residents, and the ex-mayor.

The breakdown for the remaining responses included City of

Portland (12%), State of Oregon (6%), Federal Government

(3%), and Metro (3%). The respondents who had never heard of

the project were not asked this question.

3

ATTITUDE TOWARD THE PROJECT

Respondents living nearer the area affected by the project

were slightly less likely to voice approval of it, and much

more likely to disapprove. About one third of the population

surveyed said they felt neutral about the project, with most

of these responses corning from outside of Multnornah County.

Over one third of the respondents felt that construction was

proceeding well or very well. A similar geographic pattern

emerges as on the project approval question: respondents

living in the impacted area are more likely to be critical of

4

the construction progress than those who are less affected by

it.

5

LIGHT RAIL PROJECT THEME

The primary purpose of this survey was to determine the

public's reaction to three potential themes which could be

used to promote the Light Rail Project. The three themes

tested were:

On The Right Track

Partner in Portland's Progress

Tri-Rail

"On The Right Track" was favored by 38 percent of the

respondents, followed by "Tri-Rail" with 30 percent. The

third theme, "Partner in Portland's Progress" was preferred

by only 16 percent. Fourteen percent did not like any of the

three themes, and one percent had no preference.

The validity of this question was tested by asking the

opposite question to determine which theme respondents liked

the least, and the results were consistent. Forty eight

percent said they liked the "Partner ••• " theme the least, and

26 percent disliked the "Tri-Rail" theme. Only 16 percent

thought the "Right Track ••• • option was the worst of the

three. The remaining 9 percent had no opinion or liked all

the themes.

This indicates that the theme "On The Right Track" is

undoubtedly the most preferred (and least disliked) of the

6

three themes that were tested here.
