Transit
Development Program Will Chart the Course for Transit Services in Bloomington Over the
Next 5-10 Years
The Bloomington Public Transportation Corporation (BPTC) is
in the process of updating its Transit Development Program. This study will chart the direction in
which transit service can be improved and better developed in the Bloomington
community over the next 5-10 years.
An important first step in the study process will be the conduct
of an online survey which the general public can take to share your
opinions about Bloomington
Transit service. Click here to take the survey:
In addition, written comments and suggestions can also be submitted
in writing by addressing them to Bloomington
Transit, 130 W. Grimes Lane,
Bloomington, IN,
47403, or by
email at customer@kiva.net.
