Many residents of the City of Big Lake commute to the Twin Cities suburbs, Minneapolis, or Saint Paul for work each day. The City would like to take a more active role in facilitating the creation of ridesharing options to help residents save money, reduce wear and tear on roads, and reduce air pollution. Students will create, administer, and analyze surveys to examine the barriers and opportunities for ridesharing among commuters as well as the market for Metro Transit vanpool(s) in Big Lake.
