To find out what commuters would benefit most from, CTDOT is asking survey-takers to rank what works well at the STC and what needs improvement. The department is looking for feedback in eight categories:

  • Access for bicycles
  • Access for pedestrians
  • Access for vehicles
  • Connections and transfers
  • Customer amenities
  • Physical conditions
  • Security and cleanliness
  • Signage and ticketing

The survey will also ask users to indicate how often they use the STC's transportation options – trains, buses, parking, taxis and ride hailing services, and car rentals.
