DVC Travel Survey Executive Summary May 2017 1
This report contains the results of the DVC commute travel survey, conducted during the weeks of April 10 through May 8, 2017. The survey was sent out electronically via eConnect, the email system the college students use to reach students, faculty, and staff. The student enrollment is roughly 27,000 and there are 2,181 faculty/staff members. The survey was in English only and online only. A prize drawing of ten $5 Peet’s Coffee & Tea Gift cards were conducted for returned surveys. The information collected can be used to understand how students, faculty and staff get to the campus and why they choose specific modes. The results are useful for planning and focusing efforts on strategies to encourage the use of sustainable travel modes, such as carpooling, EV and charging needs, transit, and bicycling. A total of 571 surveys were completed for a response rate of 2%. Of the survey responses, 404 were students and 167 were faculty/staff. Students, Faculty, and Staff The survey found that 80% of faculty and staff drive alone while 55% of students drive alone. Among the 20% of faculty and staff who do not drive alone they report that they do so most commonly for environmental reasons, as opposed to students who don’t drive alone out of necessity. Compared to faculty and staff, students are 8 times more likely to walk, 6 times more likely to use a scooter/motorcycle, 4 times more likely to use the bus and 3 times more likely to carpool. Based on the survey, all respondents are more apt to carpool if there were incentives, assistance finding someone to carpool with, and a guaranteed ride home. Ridesharing The ride sourcing app, Lyft, reported 800 pick-ups and 1,000 drop-offs at DVC’s Pleasant Hill campus from January to April 2017. Of those 1,800 trips, 45% were Lyft Line trips generated via the carpool portal of the Lyft app. This percentage is likely to grow as less expensive versions of ridesharing like Lyft Line and Uber Pool become more available. Uber would not provide similar information. Carpooling Of the people that drive alone to campus, 24% say they do so because they have no one to carpool with. Incentives such as premium parking locations, free parking, or getting paid as a

driver were reported as things that would encourage people who drive alone to consider carpooling. On average, survey respondents reported being willing to pay $4.46 to ride as a passenger in a carpool. Electric Vehicles 7.5% of respondents had electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. 16% of these people currently charge their vehicle on campus. 72% said they would charge their vehicles more often if more chargers were available. 41% of electric vehicle users said they would be willing to pay a nominal fee for use of Level 2 charging stations. Bicycling 5% of respondents indicated that they biked to campus one or more times per week and less than 1% of respondents indicated that they biked 3 or more days per week. Both students and faculty/staff had approximately the same number of people who biked to campus. When asked about what is needed to encourage drivers to use an alternative form of transportation, respondents asked for “Shower Facilities on Campus” (9.7%), “Better Bike Routes to Campus” (9.0%), “Secure Bike Lockers” (7.8%), “Secure Bike Racks” (7.6%) and “Bike repair options on campus” (5.3%). Transit Students use transit more often than faculty/staff. Buses were used by 14% of students at least one day a week vs 5% of faculty/staff. BART was used by 8% of students at least one day a week while only 4% of faculty/staff used BART. Among full-time students, 6% used a bus three or more days per week and 4% used BART three or more days per week, while only 2% of full-time faculty/staff used either bus or BART three or more days per week. Drivers indicated that “Better/more frequent Bus Transit” (26.3%) and “Subsidized Transit” (19.6%) would encourage them to switch to using transit. Students were more interested in subsidized transit with 20.9% of students requesting this versus 16.7% of faculty/staff. Because the total number of respondents using transit was so low, further study may be needed to better assess transit usage among DVC commuters. Opportunities 511 Contra Costa already provides both a one-time monetary incentive for ridesharing as well as a guaranteed ride home program. Students, faculty, staff can sign up to receive these incentives at no cost at www.511contracosta.org. Greater awareness among faculty and staff of the incentives and guaranteed ride home program should be the first priority. This could be accomplished through the DVC website and digital campaigns (any and all communications portals used by DVC). This effort could result in a fewer number of single-occupant vehicles arriving and parking on campus, without requiring financial contributions by the Contra Costa Community College District. Future surveys should query awareness of these campaigns and ways to improve their visibility and uptake of ride sharing programs. Incentive programs such as 511 Contra Costa’s Scoop pilot are likely to be very relevant to encouraging carpooling among DVC students, faculty and staff as they provide payment to drivers and it addresses the issue of finding someone to share the ride with. In addition, the best

parking spaces at DVC could be made available to carpools to further encourage ridesharing to the campus, as well as reduced parking rates for carpoolers together with increased parking fees for single-occupancy vehicles. Additionally, 511 Contra Costa is working with the local transit operator and ride sourcing companies to develop a ridesharing program. One element of the program would be a last mile solution between BART and DVC. Another element of the program could consider arrangement with the ride sourcing companies to offer subsidized rides, whereby the user pays a flat rate and the school and 511 Contra Costa covers the balance through an agreement. Such a scheme is currently being tested in communities with low transit propensity. 511 Contra Costa’s ability to develop and launch such a program will require commitment on the part of the senior leadership at Diablo Valley College. Another possible arrangement to reduce single-occupancy vehicles while boosting the low transit use is to provide a shuttle service operated or managed by the College that connects to the nearest BART station. With frequent service scheduled to meet trains, this can be an alternative and convenient mode of travel. Furthermore, carsharing schemes should also be investigated. Greater awareness of the fact that showers and lockers are available in the gym is needed to help encourage cycling to campus. In addition, better promotion of the various campus bicycle rack locations is needed. An environmental studies student, Sara Nilsson walked the campus and created a simple bicycle parking map in 2017 for the Sustainability Committee review. Perhaps work can be done to formalize the map and place it prominently on the DVC website and social media channels. Moreover, highly-publicized “Bike to School” or “Bike to Work” days or weeks, can act as special events aimed at highlighting the benefits of active transportation and minimizing barriers to uptake. These events can also grow sustainable mode choices, while also involving the larger community. Overall, the convenience and thus the prevalence of driving to campus reveals the difficulty of growing the use of alternative and more sustainable modes. Our findings suggest that while a willingness exists to try alternative modes, increased awareness of available modes and their benefits is needed, likely through marketing and promotional campaigns. A detailed report is attached and the survey instrument can be found in Appendix A. For more information email inquiries to [email protected].
This effort was conducted in coordination with the Diablo Valley College Sustainability Committee by the 511 Contra Costa Transportation Management Program on behalf of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority and Diablo Valley College. Funds for this survey were provided by the CCTA and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Transportation Fund for Clean Air.

DVC campusBetter bicycle parking on the DVC campus.Easier street access to trails on bike A safe way to get from DVC to the Iron Horse TrailWillow Pass Road does not have access to the Iron
Horse Trail from both sides of the street, yet there is no crosswalk to get from the Iron Horse Trail access on the south side of the street to the sidewalk on the north side of the street.
A safer bike lane, some of the bike Lanes in Concord are much more brightly colored so motorists pay better attention to pedestrians
Safer routes and more bike racks.Fewer hills. Better connecting streets to Alhambra

of campus,but it all cracked and uneven don't wanna break a leg getting to school.
Better walking/bike paths to school. More direct routes Installing some more paths around Pleasant Hill to make
it safer for me to walk. Like Paso Nogal Road.more direct and often transit from BART to campus,
