TARTA Customer Satisfaction Survey and Customer Forum
In the last several months, TARTA has conducted several new efforts to measure customer satisfaction and receive feedback from the Toledo Metro area.
Through online and phone surveys for both fixed-route and paratransit service, surveys were conducted by Transpro Consulting, an independent consulting firm, to gauge customers’ support for a variety of issues ranging from bus cleanliness and driver courtesy to the convenience and frequency of local bus routes. In addition, TARTA also hosted a virtual forum via Zoom on Nov. 19, 2020 to present findings and survey results to customers.
As TARTA continues is transformational journey to becoming a best-in-class transit system, it will continue to rely on the input of community members and customers to understand and improve its customer experience. Learn more about TARTA’s most recent survey and webinar below.
