1 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Bus Livability Grant: The Amenity Survey and Love Your Outreach Campaign Riders Advisory Council February 12,
2 Background WMATA received a $1.875 million federal bus livability grant to make improvements to bus stops around the region. WMATA built a Amenity Survey to: Understand the public s preferences for bus stop features; and Help prioritize spending under the grant. WMATA launched the Love Your Outreach Campaign to: Inform existing and potential bus riders about the grant and survey; Create a light-hearted and positive brand around the survey; Encourage riders to take the survey in-person or privately online; and Reach minority, low-income, and Limited English Proficiency populations who might otherwise not have their voices heard. 2
3 Amenity Survey - Design The following principles guided development of the survey: Compatibility with Qualtrics survey software; Compliance with Title VI guidance; Ability of riders and potential riders with limited literacy to take the survey; No requirement of any technical knowledge of bus stop design to be able to understand the bus stop features; No longer than 3-5 minutes to complete; and A positive focus (e.g., what would you like? versus what don t you have? ). 3
4 Amenity Survey - Administration Survey was available online in seven languages through a link on the Love Your Bus Stop homepage: wmata.com/loveyourbusstop Survey was administered at events using handheld tablet computers - Bilingual staff members conducted the survey and attracted passersby to participate. 4

10 Rated Importance Results by Jurisdiction, Amenity Groups There were 5 amenity groups that respondents were asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 5 based on importance. The results are ordered by highest to lowest rating of each amenity group. District of Columbia Prince George s County Montgomery County Fairfax County Arlington County City of Alexandria Survey 1, Respondents 1 st Transit Transit Transit Access to Transit Transit 2 nd Safety and Security Safety and Security Access to Bus Stop Transit Access to Access to 3 rd Waiting Area Features Waiting Area Features Waiting Area Features Safety and Security Waiting Area Features Safety and Security 4 th Access to Cleanliness Safety and Security Waiting Area Features Safety and Security Waiting Area Features 5 th Cleanliness Access to Cleanliness Cleanliness Cleanliness Cleanliness 10
11 Amenity Group Observations Access to s is of high importance to residents of Virginia jurisdictions and Montgomery County this is further reflected in their specific stop amenity ratings. Transit information ranked 1 st or 2 nd in all jurisdictions. Safety and Security rank highest in the District of Columbia and Prince George s County. Wait Area features ranked in the middle to low end of importance. 11
12 Specific Amenities Respondents were asked to rate individual amenities, there were 18 that could be rated: Real Time Schedule & Route Info Local Area Map Metrobus System Map Resting Wall Paved Waiting Area Bench Curb Ramp Removal of Items Blocking Access Connecting Sidewalks Crosswalks Bike Racks Public Art Newspaper Boxes Trash/ Recycling Cans Offset from the Curb Lighting Security Cameras 12

14 Specific Amenity Observations Across all jurisdictions the lowest rated amenities were newspaper boxes, public art, and bike racks.

The District of Columbia and Prince George s County were the only two jurisdictions to rate trash cans as a top-5 amenity. The types of transit information that were rated the highest were Schedule/Route Info and Real Time 14
15 Outreach Lessons Learned BRAND IMAGE: The light-hearted and quirky Love Your brand streamlined the marketing of the Bus Livability Project and attracted survey participants at outreach events. MEETING FORMAT: The pop-up event approach was a successful model for reaching under-served populations. SURVEY TOOL: The survey design and associated reward opportunity played an important role in incentivizing public participation. STAFFING: Hiring diverse and multilingual staff experienced in public outreach ensures that WMATA is seen as accessible and approachable. PARTNERSHIPS: Partnering with radio media outlets, existing community events, other transit agencies, and community based organizations raised public awareness about the campaign. 15
16 Next Steps WMATA will consider: User preference information based off of the bus stop amenity survey; Guidelines on Design and Placement of s (which include guidelines on the number of boardings at a stop that warrant varying amenities); Data on current ridership and boardings; and on existing amenities available at stops. Metrobus Planning, Scheduling and Customer Facilities plans to work with jurisdictions on a combination of projects focusing on: Customer (both real time and static) and; Bus stop access. 16
