MBTA Service Standards Survey 

The MBTA is updating its standards for providing reliable service, and customer input is extremely important. Please take the MBTA's online survey to help determine service priorities and the standards it uses to evaluate service.

Qualitative research helps us help our members

 

This spring, the staff at the North Shore TMA conducted commuter transportation surveys with the students and faculty at Salem State University and North Shore Community College, as well as with the employees at Eastern Bank to gain a better understanding of why they commute the way they do. Based on the information gleaned from the surveys, the NSTMA hosted focus groups at each of the above mentioned organizations to dig deeper and identify new programs and technologies to support shared commuting. Analysis and recommendations are being finalized and we hope to roll-out pilot programs this fall.
