Golden Empire Transit District (GET) and the Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) are partnering on a Long-Range Transit Plan for Metropolitan Bakersfield. As part of the Plan, we are surveying community opinion on issues related to public transportation in the Bakersfield area, both as it exists today and as it might exist in the future. Your help is greatly appreciated!
