The contract between CWRU and the RTA is reaching its end. While we will have more discussions in our next general assembly, the GSC Executive Board would like to understand better student usage of the RTA passes.
To participate, please fill out the RTA Survey with questions such as: - Do you use the RTA passes? - For what purposes have you used the RTA passes? - Do you own a vehicle? - Are you paying for on-campus parking?
Please fill out the following survey before March/5 so we can have a more informed conversation at our next general assembly meeting (which will happen in March/6): https://forms.gle/Jwgk7SxrNFdC2TAEA
