Experience with Mobility Survey (Part 1/1)
Researchers from the University of Washington are designing an automated customized pedestrian routing app and visualized accessibility information on maps. We hope to help people find paths that are right for them in urban settings. We are also hoping to improve our understanding of mobility on the ground for different kinds of pedestrians. We place a specific focus on people with disabilities. We are looking for volunteers who would like to keep track of their trips using our app and to provide feedback to help us improve the design of the app and the way we customize routes to a user.

First, we would like to learn about your mobility (both individual ability and patterns of use) by inviting you to participate in a 5-min survey. You will not be compensated for completing this survey. If you are interested, we may invite you to try our app, keep track of your trips and provide feedback to us. Many of our studies are done using mobile phones and therefore, we will also ask about your mobile device use. If you choose to participate in trying the app and provide feedback, we will ask you for your contact information in order to contact you for further steps. For your further participation you may be compensated with an $80 Amazon gift card.

Thank you for spending your time telling us about your mobility experience. This survey should only take a few minutes. Your responses will remain anonymous unless you choose to provide us with your contact information.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact uwtcat@uw.edu or call (206) 543-1021. If you would like to talk to someone separate from the research team about a concern or complaint or your rights as a possible research subject, please contact the University of Washington Institutional Review Board at (206) 543-0098. We cannot ensure the confidentiality of any information sent by email.

At the very end of this survey, we will ask if you wish to participate in further research about non-motorized mobility.

Do you find that mapping applications (like Google Directions for pedestrians) underestimate your time to destination more than 50% of the time?
Clear selection
Are you at least 18 years of age? *
Is your primary area of travel (i.e., your home, your work, or 80% of your travel) in any of the following municipalities? *
Why are we asking this? We have detailed sidewalk information for different municipalities and certain municipalities are better studied than others.
If you use a SmartPhone, what platform phone do you use? *
Not counting work or school, on how many outings (going somewhere out of your home) do you typically go each week? *
Approximately what percent of the time do you go to new destinations (places you have NOT  been before)? *
How likely are you to take public transit (bus, train, community transit, etc) to a new place? *
How likely are you to go to a new location by yourself? *
How do you typically go about finding routing information for the pedestrian/walking portions of your trips? *

Contact information
This is the last section in the un-compensated portion of this online survey. If you would like to try our beta routing app, and/or you are willing to share your trip information and provide feedback to us, we will need your contact information. By providing us your contact details (email or phone number) you are indicating that you would be be interested in being contacted by our research team. Participants who participate in future sessions will be compensated $25 per hour in gift cards for their time.
