The report documents the creation of separate automobile and transit user panels for monitoring the effect of North Central Expressway construction upon travel behavior in the corridor. The report also summarizes the results of the initial pre-construction survey of these panel members against which future surveys will be compared. The typical automobile user panel member involve 2.67 trips/day, 50 percent of which involve travel on North Central Expressway. Work trips in the corridor average 13.9 miles in length, and take 29 minutes in the morning and 33 minutes in the afternoon. The North Central Expressway is the most frequently used roadway for all or part of the panel members' work trips. Expressway usage is slightly less for the work-to-home trip than the home-to-work trip, suggesting that some panel members opt for alternative routes on their way home. Transit user survey results indicate that most patrons utilize transit for their work trips on a daily basis. Transit quality in the corridor is rated fairly high by members of the panel. Most express/local route transit users have one vehicle or less in the household, making transit utilization more of a matter of choice for them.
