Ride On Reimagined Study - Call for Focus Group Members
For Immediate Release: Tuesday, December 13, 2022
The Ride On Reimagined Study is a comprehensive, forward-looking assessment of the bus network that will result in significant recommended changes to how transit operates in Montgomery County based on current and future needs. This study will take an in-depth look at Montgomery County’s existing and planned transit systems, including Metrobus services that operate within the County limits and the future Purple Line, through data analysis and community engagement.
Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) is recruiting community members for focus groups. Both riders and non-riders are welcome to participate. Each focus group will be based on one of five areas across the County. Meetings will be held in public spaces such as Regional Service Centers or local libraries. The small group format will encourage active discussion. All locations are accessible via bus. Participants will be asked to attend two (2), two-hour-long local focus group sessions held from 6 – 8 p.m. on weeknights.
If you are interested in participating, please send an email to [email protected], include “Focus Group” in the subject line, and please provide your full name, e-mail address and telephone number. MCDOT will reach out to ask a few brief questions to determine the focus group location you should participate in and ensure your ability to participate in both sessions.
