Online Surveys
Online surveys are a digital tool to receive input from the public and allow participants to share their thoughts.

Below are current active surveys soliciting feedback.
Wheels on the Bus
VTA is conducting a study to see if real-time information about the availability of space on the bike racks would help improve the travel experience for riders.
