ONGOING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

Surveys – Two surveys are live now. Please share them with your networks.

· Weigh in! What does better transit mean to you? This 5 to 10 minute survey asks how transit trips can be easier and more convenient for you. We also want to know what information would help you weigh the pros and cons of different alternatives (routes and transit types) that will be developed with your help this summer. This survey will be open through July 30, 2014.

· Public engagement: How are we doing? We want to know what is working for you and what could be better. Let us know by answering a few questions. We appreciate your feedback.
