TCRA <br />1008 Employee Transportation lurvey <br />dropped off by someone else. Eight percent would walk or bike the whole way to work and only <br />1% would start carpooling or vanpooling. These responses are similar to 2007. <br />Table 5 shows the alternatives to LINKS. <br />Table 5 -Alternative to LINKS <br />Alternative to LINKS 2007 2008 <br />Take AC Transit 32% 37% <br />BART and AC Transit 23 % 21 <br />Drive alone 11% 13% <br />BART and walk 9% 10% <br />Walk or bike all the way to work 9% 8% <br />Couldn't continue working at this location 5% 6% <br />BART and bicycle 2% 2% <br />Get dropped off by car 3% 1% <br />Carpool or vanpool 1 % 1 <br />AC Transit and bicycle 5% - <br />Total 100% 100% <br />Financial Hardship <br />While only 6% say that they would have to stop working at their current location, 85% say that <br />losing LINKS would present a financial hardship for them. Again, these findings are nearly <br />identical to those of previous surveys; in past years 85-86% of respondents said that losing the <br />LINKS service would present a financial hardship. <br />To further quantify the financial impact of LINKS, respondents were asked about income and <br />household size. Using standards developed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, <br />respondents were classified as "low income" if their income and household size causes them to <br />fall below certain thresholds. For example, a single person earning less than $17,000/year would <br />be considered low-income. (These standards represent 200% of the poverty line.)
