Phoenix Rush Hour Commute Survey

How Long Does it Take You to Get From Here to There?

Moving across town is tough, but moving across country is even worse. It can take an hour or more for people to get from here to there in the various cities and towns in the Greater Phoenix area. One of the most challenging issues for people who want to figure out where they should live involves rush hour commute times.

In an effort to help give people a snapshot of rush hour commute times in the Valley of the Sun, responses to this survey are posted here. Your name and email address will not be included; I ask for those only in case I need to contact you about your response. I will not use the email address for any purpose, no salesman will call, and no ads for mortgage loans (or worse) will appear in your inbox as a result of you providing your email address here.

In order to give helpful information, only the following people should respond to the survey:

1. People who drive a car or truck, or take METRO Light Rail or the bus, between 6 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.
2. You don't have to take the route every day, just often enough to know how long the average commute time is.
3. Some people may commute from various points to various points. For instance, I know my commute time to work, but I also know the commute time to the airport, and I know the commute time to one of my clients in Scottsdale. As long as the trips fall during rush hour as I have defined them above, I can use the information. Just fill out an additional survey if you have an additional location.
4. You may complete surveys for other household members. In fact, please do! The more responses I have, the more valuable the information will be for others.

OK, the questions are easy. Here we go -- just complete the form and click on Submit when you're done.
