Urban Planning and Cycling in Toronto

Hello,

I would like to invite you to participate in the Toronto Downtown Commuter Survey. I am a

UofT graduate student, and this survey is part of my Master of Science in Planning thesis

in the UofT Geography Department and Program in Planning. Both cyclists and non-cyclists

commuting to the UofT St. George Campus on a regular basis are invited to participate in

this survey.

This online survey is anonymous. It will take about 10 minutes of your time. I hope you

will find a few minutes in your busy schedules to answer the survey questions. To

participate in the survey, please click on Survey on the sidebar or follow

the link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/85VS9CD

In order to help make cycling a more popular mode of transportation in Toronto, I am

studying factors that contribute to utilitarian cycling (non-recreational commute to

work, school, or to carry out other activities worked into our daily routines) or deter

commuters from engaging in cycling to the UofT St. George Campus and other downtown

destinations.

Results of the survey will be provided to organizations and groups working on cycling

issues on the UofT St.George Campus and beyond, including Bikechain, the UofT

Sustainability Office, and the Toronto Coalition for Active Transportation. You will find

the results of the survey on www.doyoucycle.webs.com.

Your participation is much appreciated.

Thank your for your time and consideration.
