On-board surveyors from
Fleming to question transit users That’s the next step in the City of Peterborough’s quest to make improvements to its transit system – to poll riders on their transit habits and needs and to solicit their ideas. Susan Sauve, the City’s transportation demand management planner, says a group of Sir Sandford Fleming College students will be taking on this challenge, starting sometime in late September or October. "We’re not sure yet whether they will be questioning transit users directly or just asking them to fill something out to be handed back in before the end of their ride," says Susan, who says they will do some test marketing on this first. This follows workshops that were held at the end of June, considered part of a recent transit review. The City of Peterborough has been undergoing an overall operations review this year. As well, Susan says calls will soon be made to a large sample of non-transit users in Peterborough to glean their views on the transit system. All of this consulting is designed to get recommendations and input for changes to the system, she says. A new bus route has already been added for the fall that leads to Trent University, paid for by the university as well. It runs on the east side of the Otonabee River, along Armour Road. New city routes may be part of the changes seen after the surveys and reviews are complete. Once the information is gathered, everything to date will be presented and open for discussion again before a firm plan arrives in front of council. Council will then decide upon the recommendations. |
