Survey needed from Bus Riders

UPDATE 08/04/21:
The survey will end at 11:59pm on Saturday, August 7th, 2021

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), in coordination with River Valley Transit, is conducting a survey to assess the safety concerns and expectations of transit bus riders as the COVID-19 vaccines continue to roll out, case counts drop, and activities slowly return to normal. The feedback obtained from the survey will be distributed to Pennsylvania transit providers to help them improve their service. Your personal identity will not be shared with your transit provider unless you agree to participate in a follow-up phone call in your response to Question 17 near the end of the survey.

Over the past year, as we have learned more about the virus, it is likely your behavior, concerns and expectations regarding your use of the bus have changed. Please answer the survey questions based on your current behavior, concerns and expectations.

If you need help completing the survey or with a specific question, you may call (717) 836-3337 for assistance.

Williamsport, PA… Any person in the community that has a scheduled appointment to receive a COVID-19 vaccination in River Valley Transit’s service area may call to arrange free transportation. River Valley Transit is offering shared ride service and is dedicated to getting people to or from appointments without charge. Advance reservations are required and may be made by calling 570-326-2500 weekdays between 8:30am and 5:00pm.

“We have to be responsible to our community and be sure that transportation service is available to those in need during this time,” said Adam Winder, River Valley Transit General Manager. “The shared ride service is something we can do and expect passengers to call us to schedule their ride to or from their vaccination.”

Residents that live in our service area may request a trip by noon the day prior to their appointment and they must have a confirmed COVID-19 vaccination appointment at the location they are requesting transportation.
