Survey for Employer Transit Service Needs

The City of Bangor and its municipal partners that contribute to the operation of regional Community Connector bus services have launched a study to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the current level of public transit service and to determine future needs.  A critical component of the study is market research to determine the satisfaction of current riders with their service; to determine what characteristics of transit service would lure new riders to Community Connector service and this survey to determine Employer interest in transit service.

The Community Connector partners are requesting that major area employers fill out the attached Employer Survey that will take approximately ten(10) minutes to execute and to make the attached Employee Survey available to employees through company online portals so that the study can utilize the data to determine if there are employment-related need for transit services that are not being met.

The Community Connector partners are asking that both surveys (employer and employee) be completed by March 22, 2019, in order to keep the study on schedule for completion by June 1, 2019.  

Should you have questions or need support in posting the survey on your online portals please email Laurie Linscott at laurie.linscott@bangormaine.gov.
