Transportation Survey

School Transportation Survey: We Want to Hear From You!

In partnership with the City of Eugene, we’re asking all parents and guardians to take a few minutes to fill out a brief survey about your child’s daily commute to school. Your feedback will help us better understand transportation needs and improve options for all families. The survey is quick, confidential, and your responses will remain anonymous.

As a thank you, everyone who completes the survey by April 20 will be entered into the City of Eugene’s random drawing for a chance to win one of twelve $25 gift cards! Please take a moment to share your thoughts by filling out the survey here: School Transportation Survey. Your input is invaluable and we appreciate your time!
