The Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority is inviting transit riders and community members to participate in a public survey as part of the ongoing Transit Development Plan (TDP). The survey is designed to gather feedback on current transit services and identify priorities for improvements over next 5 years.
The Transit Development Plan is a comprehensive planning effort that evaluates existing transit services and outlines strategies to better meet the mobility needs of Erie City and County residents. Public input is a critical component of the process and will help guide decisions related to service reliability, routes, schedules, accessibility, and future investments.
“Community feedback is essential to ensuring our transit system reflects the needs of the people who use it every day,” said Jeremy Peterson, Executive Director of EMTA. “We encourage riders and residents to take a few minutes to complete the survey and share their experiences and ideas.”
The survey is open to current EMTA riders, occasional users, and individuals who may not currently use transit but could in the future. Responses will be reviewed alongside technical analysis and stakeholder input as the Transit Development Plan progresses.
The survey can be accessed online at:
- For Fixed Route Service/Riders: https://forms.office.com/r/dNpusYUXRg
- For LIFT Service/Riders: https://forms.office.com/r/XSG0V1k2NL
Paper copies and alternative formats are available upon request by contacting EMTA at emtamedia@ride-the-e.com or 814.459.8922 ext. 211.
The survey will remain open through January 31, 2026. Additional opportunities for public involvement, including meetings, will be announced later in the planning process.
