F-1 This appendix contains sample questionnaires from a range of recent air passenger surveys, including one intercept interview survey and four surveys performed using self-completed forms. Metropolitan Transportation Commission 2006 Airline Passenger Survey The first sample questionnaire was developed for the 2006 Airline Passenger Survey under- taken at Oakland International Airport and San Francisco International Airport by the Metro- politan Transportation Commission, the metropolitan planning organization responsible for transportation planning for the San Francisco Bay Area. The survey was performed as an inter- view survey of selected passengers in two locations: airline gate lounges or as passengers exited security screening. Passengers were sampled with the intent of only interviewing one respondent per air party. The survey questions were programmed into hand-held Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) units. The survey was performed in two waves between August 23 and October 8, 2006. The survey yielded just over 8,200 responses from ground originating air parties, just under 3,600 at Oak- land International Airport and just over 4,600 at San Francisco International Airport. More details of the survey are reported in: JD Franz Research, Inc., Metropolitan Transportation Commission 2006 Airline Passenger Survey: Oakland Inter- national Airport and San Francisco International Airport, Final Report, Prepared for the Metropolitan Trans- portation Commission, Oakland, Calif., January 2008. Atlanta International Airport 2005 Passenger Survey The second sample questionnaire was developed for the 2005 peak week air passenger survey at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The survey used a self-completed question- naire that was distributed to passengers waiting in the airline gate lounges for selected flights. The completed questionnaires were collected before or as passengers boarded the flight, although postage-paid envelopes were available so that the survey form could be returned by mail if pas- sengers were not able to complete it before boarding the flight. The questionnaire was designed as a tri-fold form, both to facilitate respondents writing on it while holding it and to allow it to be mailed back. The introduction to the survey and the sequence of questions on the panels appear in the correct order when the questionnaire is folded. A P P E N D I X F Sample Questionnaires for Passenger Surveys

Boston Logan 2007 Air Passenger Ground Access Survey The third sample questionnaire was developed for the 2007 Air Passenger Ground Access Sur- vey undertaken at Boston Logan International Airport by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport). The survey used a self-completed questionnaire that was distributed to passengers waiting in the airline gate lounges for selected flights. The completed questionnaires were col- lected before or as passengers boarded the flight, although the survey form was designed so that it could be returned by mail if passengers were not able to complete it before boarding the flight. The questionnaire was designed as a tri-fold form, both to facilitate respondents writing on it while holding it and to allow it to be mailed back. The introduction to the survey and the sequence of questions on the panels appear in the correct order when the questionnaire is folded. The survey was conducted over a two-week period from Monday, April 23 to Sunday, May 5, 2007. A total of 255 flights were surveyed, yielding just over 10,000 survey responses. More details of the survey are reported in: Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., Boston-Logan International Airport 2007 Environmental Data Report, Report EOEA #3247, Prepared for the Massachusetts Port Authority, East Boston, Mass., September 2008. Roanoke Regional Airport 2005 Passenger Survey The fourth sample questionnaire was developed for an air passenger survey at Roanoke Regional Airport in Virginia undertaken in 2005 as part of an airport master plan study. The sur- vey used a self-completed questionnaire that was distributed to passengers waiting in the airline gate lounges for selected flights. 2007 Washington–Baltimore Regional Air Passenger Survey The fifth sample questionnaire is one of three developed for the 2007 Washington–Baltimore Regional Air Passenger Survey that was undertaken by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport, and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). The sam- ple questionnaire shown was designed for use at BWI. Similar questionnaires were designed for use at National and Dulles Airports. The survey questionnaires were distributed to passengers waiting in the airline gate lounges for selected flights for self-completion. The completed ques- tionnaires were collected before or as passengers boarded the flight, although postage-paid envelopes were available so that the survey form could be returned by mail if passengers were not able to complete it before boarding the flight. The questionnaire was designed as a tri-fold form, both to facilitate respondents writing on it while holding it and to allow it to be mailed back. The introduction to the survey and the sequence of questions on the panels appear in the correct order when the questionnaire is folded. The survey was conducted over a two-week period from Sunday, October 7 to Saturday, Octo- ber 20, 2007, with a few additional flights surveyed during the following week. Survey responses were obtained from approximately 19,000 passengers. More details of the survey are reported in: Mohammed, A., 2007 Washington-Baltimore Regional Air Passenger Survey, Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, Washington, D.C., September 2008.
