| TAKE 10 MINUTES TO HELP THE UTE PASS EXPRESS GET BETTER! |
In 2008, Ute Pass Express bus service was studied and then implemented with a 2-year federal grant. Strong ridership needs to be demonstrated if the region hopes to continue the service beyond October 2010. This survey is an important tool in receiving feedback from existing and potential bus riders and citizens in the region. The results will help determine what mid-term changes can be made to improve Ute Pass Express bus service along Highway 24. Whether or not you have had the opportunity to ride Ute Pass Express, this community-wide survey gives you an opportunity to comment on the service and your travel patterns along Highway 24/Ute Pass corridor. The survey will take about 10 minutes - Visit http://www.lsccs.com/surveys/upxpress/upxpress.php
