We are conducting a survey to gauge public interest in a potential West Kootenay Inter-Community, Airport, Hospitality and Entertainment Shuttle Service. This service would provide transportation within and between communities, to get both to and from airports, hotels, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues.

The Castlegar & District Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with our economic development partnership and regional key stakeholders, is evaluating the feasibility of this service. This study is not intended to assess the need for general public transportation or for commuting to schools or hospitals. Please note, the intent of this project is to assess the need and viability of the service and does not guarantee that the project administrators will act on the results. This information will be used to determine if further steps can be taken on this project and may be shared with existing or new transportation services.

Your participation is invaluable and completely voluntary. To protect your privacy, we will not collect any personal identifying information (such as name, address, or email). All responses will be combined and analyzed collectively, ensuring no individual responses are isolated or shared.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey!"
