Eugene, OR (Oct. 28, 2019) – On November 2 – 10, transit survey teams will conduct a rider survey on board LTD buses in an effort to better understand rider’s needs and travel patterns. 

LTD will use the survey to learn more about where riders take the bus, why riders choose the bus, how often trips are taken, what improvements are most important, and how LTD is serving our community overall.

Over the 9-day survey period, bus passengers may be given a questionnaire. Authorized surveyors can be identified by their blue reflective vests and their I.D. badge that says “Transit Survey Team.” Surveys not completed on the bus can be finished later and given to any LTD bus operator or turned in to the drop box at the Eugene Station before the end of the survey period.

The information obtained from the survey will be used to identify trends in travel habits and patterns, and assist in the development of future routes and service levels. Completing the survey is very important and will ultimately help LTD serve the community better.

This survey is performed every 4 years, and you can view the 2015 Origin/Destination study results here:  https://www.LTD.org/projects-and-planning/
