On-board/intercept surveys used throughout the report refer to self-administered surveys distributed on board buses and railcars, and in stations, as well as interviews conducted in these environments. The report provides an overview of industry practices and covers a broad range of issues addressed in planning a given survey. This topic is of interest to transit agency staff responsible for market research in their agency. They can use this report to learn from and compare their experiences with the experiences of other agencies.
