Putnam County Employer Survey

The Putnam County Transportation Committee consists of several community organizations who are working together to improve transportation options for Putnam County residents.  We need your help in identifying existing difficulties that employees may have getting to work and/or challenges related to transportation barriers that your company has experienced in hiring or maintaining your workforce.  The committee is asking for your help in improving transportation services by taking a few minutes to complete this survey.  Your input does make a difference!  Thank You!
