    Volunteers Wanted for a Research Study

    Study Title: Teen Travel Behavior in Connecticut

    Are you between the ages of 18-25? Were you a resident of Connecticut between the ages of 13-17? If so, you are invited to participate in a research study about your travel behavior as a teen. You will be asked to complete a ten-minute, anonymous, online survey. This research will help to better understand the travel behavior and potential obstacles facing teenagers travel patterns. Much of traffic safety research focuses on young children, older adults or drivers, leaving those 13 to 17 years of age unintentionally excluded. 

    There is no direct benefit to study participants; however, we hope that your participation in the study can help to greatly improve our understanding of the travel behavior and potential obstacles facing teens.
