Guidelines for Surveying Hard-to-Reach Populations for Small, Medium, and Large Transportation Agencies

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) encourages transit agencies to survey their riders to inform transit planning, service, and fare policy decisions. Ensuring that all riders can participate in surveys is essential for meeting federal requirements. Only by gathering the most complete data can transit systems meet their riders' needs. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to produce guidance for public transportation agencies on how to effectively obtain survey data that fully represents the riding population. The anticipated product of the research is practical information that public transportation professionals and policymakers can readily use.
