Survey Administration and Data Collection

The Texas A&M Transportation Institute is seeking a vendor to administer a survey and collect data on travel experiences, needs, and preferences of individuals crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in the El Paso region. The survey will gather information on factors that influence border-crossing decisions and will include both non-commercial motor vehicle travelers and non-motorized users. The vendor will be responsible for designing and implementing a scientifically valid sampling and recruitment strategy, collecting a representative dataset, and delivering cleaned datasets and a technical memorandum. The project is expected to last for one year, and the vendor must demonstrate significant experience conducting large-scale survey data collection in communities along the U.S.-Mexico border. Some key requirements for the vendor include: • Experience with bilingual (English/Spanish) survey administration • Experience with travel behavior, intercept, and/or field-based surveys • Familiarity with implementing stated-preference questions • Capacity to manage staff and logistics in high-throughput or sensitive environments • Experience working under IRB oversight • Adherence to AAPOR/CASRO standards
