SacRT and Civic Thread are partnering on a bus stop improvement survey, now open at https://ee.humanitarianresponse.info/x/Ge9CQVmN.

We encourage all riders and reader to complete the survey. Even if you don’t use transit very often, improvements of bus stops could encourage you to ride more, or start riding.

The survey, in case you want to think about it ahead of time is:

Community Bus Stop Improvement Survey

Civic Thread is partnering with Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) to develop a Bus Stop Improvement Plan, which will create a list of necessary and desired improvements to bus stops, amenities, and sidewalks in the SacRT system. We need your opinions and feedback to identify priority bus stop needs. Please share your thoughts about your bus stop priorities to help ensure that this planning process is led by community. This survey will also help us identify areas of concern to hold community walking tours. By taking this survey, you have the chance to be entered to receive a free month of transit on the SacRT system (includes bus service, light rail, and SmaRT Ride).All questions are optional. The survey will take approximately 3-5 minutes.
