Tahoe/Truckee Bus Use

Please take a few moments to complete the following survey.

This survey is part of the 2018 North Lake Tahoe-Truckee Leadership Program. Our team seeks to understand the extent at which visitors and residents use public transportation in the Tahoe-Truckee region. We would greatly appreciate completing a brief survey to help our group assess the statistics of ridership in the area and the factors and characteristics that would encourage an increase in bus ridership in the future.

Any information you can provide regarding your public transportation usage is extremely helpful to us. Thank you!
