TRANSIT INTEGRATION AND EFFICIENCY STUDY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Ventura County Transportation Commission is leading an exploratory effort to identify potential efficiencies in the delivery of quality local and regional bus transit throughout Ventura County.  There are currently nine bus transit systems throughout the County – VCTC Intercity, Gold Coast Transit District, Valley Express Bus, Simi Valley Transit, Camarillo Area Transit, Thousand Oaks Transit, Moorpark City Transit, Ojai Trolley, Kanan Shuttle, and Connect – ECTA InterCity Dial-a-Ride.  Each transit provider is a project partner working alongside VCTC to identify strategies that will most effectively improve passenger experience and better integrate the existing transit services throughout the County.
This study is a first step at identifying potential opportunities for transit integration and efficiencies in the County. Based on the outcome of the study, VCTC will engage with a broader set of stakeholders to further refine recommendations and establish a path toward implementation.
Transit Integration and Efficiency Study (TIES) Survey
We are looking for feedback from residents, workers, and students in Ventura County to consider their regular travel activities within the County at large, and their familiarity with the various transit services available whether you are a transit rider or not. The results of this survey will help inform cities and county agencies where to prioritize activities that would improve transit service and potentially attract more people to use it.
