Red Rock Corridor Employer Survey

Employer Survey

What are your employees' transportation needs?
The communities along Highway 61 continue to dedicate themselves to improving transportation options for residents and travelers. While area highways and roads serve cars and trucks, other transportation choices have been limited. To address this, several cities and counties along Highway 61 have joined to form the Red Rock Corridor Commission. The Commission’s goal is to support improved transit services and review a range of travel options for this corridor.

Your input helps the Commission understand your employees’ needs and preferences. Please use your best estimates/employee knowledge.
Thank you for your participation. The survey should take roughly 10-15 minutes to complete.
