A team of public transportation experts in Oceanside, California, is creating a new light rail stop for the SPRINTER system that will service a neighborhood in which a stop does not currently exist. To decide where to place the stop, the team is using a survey from ten years ago that asked how far neighborhood residents would be willing to walk to a light rail stop. The team also looked at studies showing that people's willingness to walk to public transit is affected by the perceived safety of the streets they are walking along. Experts hypothesize that since people might have more or less willingness to walk a given distance today than residents did ten years ago, placing the new stop based only on the older survey might result in an unsuccessful transit route.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support the researcher's claim?
There has been a sharp increase in the last ten years in cyclists who use the roads in the neighborhood that the light rail stop will service.
A
Current users of the SPRINTER are satisfied with the number of stops along the line.
B
Residents of Oceanside, California, are much less likely to use public transit on rainy days than on clear days.
C
The enforcement of posted speed limits in the neighborhood that the light rail stop will service has increased substantially in the last ten years.
D
