📢 Another Important Transportation Survey — and This One Is Different!
You may have recently participated in the COLTS Transit Development Plan (TDP) Survey. Thank you! That survey looked broadly at COLTS service and our community’s transportation needs.
This is a separate survey with a different focus.
The Lackawanna County Microtransit Feasibility Study is exploring whether a new on-demand, shared-ride transportation service could help connect people to jobs and business parks throughout Lackawanna County.
Why does this matter? Transportation needs don’t exist in isolation. What we learn about barriers to getting to work, where transportation gaps exist, and what employees and employers need can help provide valuable context alongside the work being done through COLTS’ Transit Development Plan.
In other words, the TDP helps us look at the bigger picture for public transportation, while this study takes a closer look at transportation and access to employment. Together, this information can help our region better understand where transportation solutions are needed most.
👥 Businesses: How do transportation gaps affect hiring, attendance and retention?
🚌 Employees: What would make your commute easier and more reliable?
💼 Job seekers: Has transportation kept you from getting or keeping a job?
The survey takes about 10 minutes and is open through September 4.

Please, take the survey and share it with others in Lackawanna County. Even if you completed the recent COLTS TDP Survey, we encourage you to participate in this one, too — your input serves a different and important purpose.
