SPR-4044: Evaluating Opportunities to Enhance the Hoosier State Train Ridership through a Survey of Riders' Opinions and an Assessment of Access to the Line

This project will evaluate the opportunities to enhance the Hoosier State train ridership through a survey of riders’ opinions and an assessment of access to the line. The project results can be implemented to evaluate the effectiveness of the changes in services the past year, assess the potential impact on ridership of future planned improvements of the services, and provide insights into the groups of people that would be more likely to ride the train to inform future marketing efforts.
