Pilot of a Community-Based Voluntary Travel Behavior Change Effort
The research study asks the question, "How does a community-based social marketing (CBSM) approach that provides personalized assistance compare with simple provision of materials (currently used by Florida commuter assistance programs) in terms of reducing vehicle trips?" The proposed hypothesis is as follows: "Providing personalized follow-up assistance to individuals about their travel options will reduce more vehicle trips than not providing personalized follow-up assistance to individuals." The null hypothesis is as follows: "Providing personalized follow-up assistance to individuals about their travel options will not reduce more vehicle trips than not providing personalized follow-up assistance to individuals." The project can reject the null hypothesis if it can demonstrate one case where the CBSM does reduce more vehicle trips.
