Transportation is a concern for many rural residents. Rural Transportation Solutions for Ottawa has been working with Carleton University 4th-year Civil Engineering Students to propose affordable solutions for the transit needs and preferences of rural Ottawa residents.
Members of your Community Association are invited to participate in this research study that is examining transportation preferences among residents of rural Ottawa communities. The goal of this research is to model how convenience, travel time and cost influence transportation mode choice in rural Ottawa.
The survey asks about a person’s current travel habits. It presents a series of hypothetical transportation scenarios to better understand the preferences for different travel options, including potential on-demand transit services for Ottawa’s rural villages.
The survey will be open from July 27th to August 10th, 2026, and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Participants must be rural residents, be over the age of 18, and not require Para Transpo.
Participation is entirely voluntary, and one may stop the survey at any time before submitting a response. This study has received ethics clearance from Carleton University Research Ethics Board B (CUREB-B Clearance #126474).
