HE NIGH WOKFOCE PA 1 Why are employees traveling to OHU at night and where are they going? WH AE WE AKING HI? HOW I WE ANE HI? Understanding what drives demand for night travel to/from OHU will help illuminate the unique travel needs generated by those activities and provide clues to how these needs could evolve in the future. We collected information on what functions are running at night and what those functions require of employees via interviews, surveys and research. OHU NIGH ACCE PLAN 11
WH AE EPLOEE AVELING O OHU A NIGH? WHEE AE HE GOING? Employees are concentrated in just a few buildings, creating opportunities for focused investment. Every weekday, around 20,000 people commute to and from OHU. hese researchers, healthcare professionals, students, and visitors are spread out across more than 30 buildings around the two central campuses. Every month, nearly 4,000 different employees travel to or from OHU s central campuses between the hours of 9P and 6A, with anywhere from 400 to 1,300 shifts being worked during the night, depending on the day of the week. At night, only a few buildings are heavily utilized, while others see just a handful of traffic. he concentrated nature of nighttime campus use provides opportunities for focusing resources when considering improvements. HE OHU NIGH WOKFOCE A detailed breakdown of which buildings employees are active in at night (visualized in the Night Circulation ap graphic on the facing page) highlights that the majority of survey respondents (67%) in the Night Access Plan Employee urvey reported working at buildings on the arquam Hill Campus. he mostused buildings are the OHU Hospital (OH, 41%), Kohler Pavilion (KPV, 10%), Hatfield esearch Center (HC, 7%) and oernbecher Children s Hospital (CH, 9%). No other building has more than four percent of survey respondents working there. Night and early morning employees are concentrated in a relatively small number of buildings. Overall, OHU is a leaner operation at night, concentrated to a few key buildings with roles that mostly focus on providing healthcare to patients; students and professors do not make up large percentages of overnight activity. he NAP Employee urvey revealed 51% of survey respondents are in healthcare roles and 20% are in administrative roles. Facilities and maintenance workers made up about 13% of survey respondents. esearchers made up roughly 5% of respondents. Healthcare researchers frequently have variable hours, and some indicated needing to stay overnight at times to monitor ongoing experiments. 12

Who is traveling to OHU at night? WH AE WE AKING HI? Understanding the demographics of people traveling to/from OHU at night will point to unique challenges that may be faced by different groups of travelers. HOW I WE ANE HI? Looking at OHU employee demographic data, an OHU-specific night transportation survey, and a recent pilot transportation census provided a detailed picture of the regular night travelers to OHU.

WHO I AVELING O OHU A NIGH? 16 oles he OHU night workforce is similar in composition to the overall workforce, with over half (51%) of employees surveyed indicating they are healthcare providers. Administrative functions and Facilities are well-represented in the survey results and in the night workforce. tudents, researchers, professors, and ransportation & Parking staff make up a small, yet significant presence at night. Gender Examining gender specifically, the nighttime workforce is very similar proportionally to the overall OHU population (women: day = 67%; night = 63%). his high proportion of women compared to the gender-balanced population of the city or region may help identify barriers that may be more significant for the OHU nighttime employee population than for the city-wide population. For example, national research has shown that 54% of women are concerned about being hit by vehicles when riding, 48% of women would ride more with protected bike lanes, and 51% of women have no working adult bicycle in their household. Our own NAP Employee urvey analysis reveals that among respondents, 20% of men bike, while only 7% of women do. Although this research was not night-specific, knowledge of these barriers is useful in understanding how women perceive biking and in indicating ways transportation infrastructure improvements or bike subsidy/leasing programs may encourage more women to bike to OHU. hese findings among others indicate late night and early morning commuting patterns are influenced by gender, highlighting the importance of considering gender-specific preferences and barriers in transportation planning. Income Looking at income, surveyed OHU night employees are better off than others in the region; the regional median household income is $58,000, while only a bit more than 30% of surveyed night employees (the shaded purple areas in the chart at right) fall below that value. his may be indicative of an ability to spend more on transportation and/or housing options than the average Portland-area dweller might be able to. Of those who reported a household income of over $100,000, 66% drive alone while 8% take transit; of those whose household income is less than $35,000, 42% drive alone and 28% take transit. Employees who make less than $35,000 pay a higher percentage of their income for aily Parking Passes and Annual Parking Permits than employees making $100,000 or more, meaning those making more money have the benefit of more convenient door-to-door transportation while those in the lower income brackets may end up only having access to transportation options that are temporally costly. 51% Healthcare Provider 63% Female 16% $35k-50k 11% $20k-35k 3% <$20k 4% >$200k 6% $150k-200k OLE EPLOEE WIH NIGH & EAL ONING HIF n=806 GENE EPLOEE WIH NIGH & EAL ONING HIF n=807 HH INCOE EPLOEE WIH NIGH & EAL ONING HIF n=756 10% Other 19% Administration 13% Facilities & aintenance 5% esearcher 3% tudent 1% Other 36% ale 20% $50k-75k 20% $75k-100k 20% $100k-150k
