Lextran is conducting a Microtransit Feasibility Study to explore whether shared, flexible, on-demand public transportation—known as microtransit—can help improve access to jobs, healthcare, shopping, and other destinations in Lexington.
We want your feedback! This 5-7 minute survey will help us understand your transportation needs and preferences.
Microtransit uses technology similar to ride-hailing companies, like Uber and Lyft, for public transit to expand coverage and improve flexibility for passengers. To use microtransit, passengers request a ride (on their phone, computer, or by calling), receive an estimated wait time, and then are picked up at or close to their location. Trips must start and end within a zone and are oftentimes shared between passengers to improve efficiency.
Please note that at this time, Lextran has not committed to fund any microtransit service; this survey will help inform a study to identify whether this type of service is realistic and sustainable for certain areas of Lexington.
Your input is valuable—thank you for participating!
