Lifestyle & Communications Survey

Blacksburg Transit conducted a survey of Virginia Tech community members to learn more about ridership and how transit can be transformed in the future. The survey was designed to determine current transit habits as well as ways for BT to improve communication between customers and BT. The survey was conducted in the Spring of 2016. A copy of the entire survey results can be found below as well as a brief summary.
