The Texas Transportation Institute conducted a telephone survey of Dallas and suburban Dallas residents to determine North Central Expressway user opinions, travel behaviors, and transportation preferences. Of the 1356 Dallas and Collin County residents surveyed, 81% used the expressway to some extent. Forty-one percent of the North Central Expressway users traveled on the expressed to get to work. Of this group, 41% traveled to or through the downtown area to get to work. These commuters typically resided in the North Central Expressway corridor, traveled from the West side of the corridor, drove to work alone, and had more than one vehicle in their household. In response to questions concerning transportation alternatives, 15.5% of the sample reported that they have ever ridden a city bus (39% of this group reported being frequent bus riders). Sixty-one percent of the survey respondents said they would use rail to some extent, if provided on North Central Expressway, and 12% of this group predicted they would use it every day. Fifty-two percent of the respondents said they would use a high occupancy vehicle (HOV) land on North Central Expressway, if provided, and 13% of this group predicted they would use it every day. When provided a list of transportation issues related to North Central Expressway use, survey respondents rated safety as the number one issue. A similar question pertaining to public transportation also revealed safety as the most important issue.
