The Center for Health and the Built Environment at the University of Florida needs help in identifying the mobility patterns of the East Gainesville community for our research study. Our goal is to understand
the context in which transportation resources such as microtransit have affected the local community. We want to learn more about the role of transportation in the East Gainesville community and what considerations need to be made when talking about public
transportation. We are conducting interviews with people like you who play an important role in the East Gainesville community. The interview is delivered through a series of questions with long answers via phone call, video call, or other form of virtual
communication which will be recorded and analyzed for research purposes. Recordings will be managed by the research team and will not be used for any other purpose than for reference in the study. The study asks for a single interview which we estimate will
take no longer than 40 minutes. There are no risks or discomforts anticipated and all of your answers will remain confidential. There are no direct benefits of participation for you. You can decline to answer any question you don’t wish to answer. No compensation
will be awarded for participation in the interview. If you have any questions regarding your rights as a research subject, please contact the Institutional Review Board (IRB02) office (University of Florida; PO Box 100173; Gainesville, FL 32610;
