Transit Benefits Survey

This survey is part of a Transit Riders Union project to better understand issues affecting Seattle commuters. Results will inform TRU's future advocacy. You can learn more about TRU at transitriders.org.

All survey participants will be entered into a raffle to potentially win a $100 ORCA card (winners will be chosen at random, survey participation does not guarantee a card).

This survey is anonymous. This means that your name will not be shared publicly without your consent. You may skip any questions you do not want to answer. The survey should take about 3 minutes.

If I had an unlimited ORCA pass, I would use public transit more often outside of work for errands, leisure, and other trips.
If I had an unlimited ORCA pass, I would drive less.
If I had an unlimited ORCA pass, I would take Uber and Lyft less.
If I had an unlimited ORCA pass, I would go more places instead of staying home.

15. Are you interested in participating in a 30 minute interview to help us gain a deeper understanding of the importance of transit access for Seattle workers?
