DVRPC and SEPTA are conducting focus groups to understand the transit habits of people who live, work, and travel in Chester County. However you get around Chester County–whether you ride a SEPTA bus, take the SCCOOT or LINK, catch a train, or travel another way–we’re interested in hearing about your transportation experiences. As transit services in Chester County change, we’re looking to make connections between your destinations smoother and faster. This study will help us understand where the Chester County transit system works and where it needs improvements.
For more information, email Amy Bernknopf or Shoshana Akins.
