West Piedmont Planning District (RIDE Solutions) Commuter Assistance Program Public Survey

Survey Instructions

The purpose of this survey is to obtain regional input to best enable staff of the West Piedmont Planning District Commission (WPPDC) / RIDE Solutions to most effectively develop a Commuter Assistance Program Strategic Plan to serve the West Piedmont Planning District (the "Region") by identifying strategies to improve work and non-work transportation options. The Region includes the counties of Franklin, Henry, Patrick, and Pittsylvania, the cities of Danville and Martinsville, and the Town of Rocky Mount (part of Franklin County), in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Please answer each question to the best of your knowledge.

RIDE Solutions is the Region's commuter assistance program, which promotes commuting by carpool, vanpool, public transit (bus), bicycling, walking, as well as use of telework. To learn more about RIDE Solutions, please visit https://ridesolutions.org/.
