This is what great public service looks like! Thank you @nharris.bsky.social for promptly addressing this concern
COG continued: A fix should be in place shortly (today). The survey team will ensure that there is no bias in the findings for this question once the surveys are complete.

This small shift could save Oregonians $1,500 and prevent 67 traffic deaths per year
Just swap out one car trip out of every five with walking, biking, transit — or maybe don't take the trip at all!
