GDOT conducting public survey to identify statewide transit needs and priorities


Survey will be used to help shape the Statewide Transit Plan

ATLANTA – The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is seeking public input on the state’s transit needs and priorities. The agency is conducting a survey now through August 14.

The objectives of the survey are to:

  • Identify needs and priorities of public transit users and potential users
  • Understand the public transit customer experience
  • Identify issues and barriers to using public transit

You can link to the survey at www.GDOTtransitsurvey.org.

The survey results and findings will be considered along with input from other stakeholder groups to shape GDOT’s Statewide Transit Plan (SWTRP).

GDOT is developing the SWTRP in coordination with local governments, Regional Commissions, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and transit providers to quantify public transit needs across the state and document strategies to ensure all Georgians have access to public transit.

The SWTRP will incorporate existing local and regional transit plans and will support GDOT’s multimodal long-range planning efforts.
