TOPEKA (KSNT) - Kansas transportation officials are asking people to take part in a bus study survey this week to help improve public transportation services. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) said in a press release on Monday, Oct. 21 that it is launching a comprehensive survey open to anyone in the Sunflower State. The survey is specifically geared for people who often use public transportation and intercity bus services. Cheryl Cadue with KDOT said the survey should take only around six minutes to finish and will be open until Saturday, Nov. 30. This study aims to assess the current long-distance bus services provided by public transit agencies along with private intercity carriers. “Public transportation plays a crucial role in connecting communities and allowing access to essential services across the state,” said KDOT Public Transportation Manager Rene Hart. “The feedback we receive will guide our efforts to create a more efficient, accessible and responsive transit system that meets the diverse needs of our communities.” KHP trooper warns of ‘tire gator’ danger on Kansas highways People who have more questions on the survey can head to KDOT's website by clicking here or can send an email to Hart at [email protected].
