Central Garage: Routes #7, #12, #21, #32, #33, #36, #37, #42, #54, #62, #79, #102, #103, #110, #112, #113, #120, #123, #150, #207, #208, #267. All the 22 surveyed routes were used for expansion purposes. South Garage: Routes #8, #11, #24, #31, #34, #35, #38, #40, #51, #52, #70, #71, #72, #73, #87, #88, #104, #137, #204, #252, #272, #288. All the 22 surveyed routes were used for expansion purposes. The three surveys were expanded to the 2015 ridership. CTG used the APC data obtained from MDT for the three months from September through November 2015 and the corresponding route level ridership from MDT’s monthly ridership reports published on their website for expanding the data. The APC data was scaled to the average systemwide boardings obtained from MDT’s ridership reports for the three months. This resulted in a total MDT bus ridership of 218,903, excluding 95 express buses. The route level ridership is shown in Table 34. Low volumes routes #1, #6, #46, #48, #56, #57, #101, #115, #117, #132, #136, #200, #202, #211, #212, #238, #246, #249, #254, #286, #287, #297, #344 and #500 were not surveyed. Total ridership on these routes is 8,689.
Processing/Expansion CTG cleaned and post-processed the survey records. As part of this process, the following records were removed: Records with ‘home’ as a response on both ends of the trip Records without information on access/egress number of vehicles in the household or number of people in the household Table 35 shows the number of records remaining after applying each of the above-mentioned screening criteria. : Post-processing the Survey Records Northeast Garage Central Garage South Garage Total # of records % of ridership # of records % of ridership # of records % of ridership # of records % of ridership Target average weekday ridership 85,527 100% 65,800 100% 58,887 100% 210,214 100% Total surveys returned 4,526 5% 2,475 4% 2,414 4% 9,415 4% Survey records remaining after deleting records with… "Home" on both trip ends 4,294 5% 2,366 4% 2,338 4% 8,998 4% Missing access/ egress mode 4,294 5% 2,366 4% 2,338 4% 8,998 4% Missing number of vehicles in household 3,149 4% 2,052 3% 1,595 3% 6,796 3% Missing number of household people 2,779 3% 1,949 3% 1,514 3% 6,242 3% Number of survey records used for final expansion 2,779 3.2% 1,949 3.0% 1,514 2.6% 6,242 3.0% Records with geocodable origin & destination locations 1,412 1.7% 0 0.0% 689 1.2% 2,101 1.0% The surveyed routes account for 210,214 average weekday boardings on MDT buses. Useable survey records for the final expansion accounted for approximately 3% of this ridership. Each of the three garage surveys were expanded by route, direction and time of day (peak: 6-9AM, and off-peak: 9AM-3PM, 7PM-6AM). Since some of the routes were not surveyed in any of the three surveys, the various tabulations, such as trips by purpose, access mode, auto availability etc. were eventually scaled to the full
