Mankato Transit Development Plan - Priorities Survey

General Transit Use

The City is updating their Transit Development Plan, which guides service changes and investments to the current transit system and recommends updates to the system that will best suit the community's needs. We conducted a survey to learn about current system use and to understand what is working or not working. Based on the responses from the survey, the next step is to identify community priorities for making improvements. Please complete the following survey to help the city prioritize changes. 
1. Currently service operates primarily between the hours of 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. If we could extend the times that transit service operates, when would you extend service? Please rank the following with 1 being highest priority and 4 being lowest.  Note: for the following table each column is restricted to a single answer across all rows.
