 The La Crosse Area Planning Committee (LAPC) is updating the Regional Transit development Plan and needs input from residents and visitors! This survey will take less than 5 minutes and will greatly help LAPC make recommendations that best represent how our community uses transit. Whether or not you ride transit, it provides an essential service to those that need it and is a great alternative to driving, walking, or biking.

The Regional Transit Development Plan is a 5–10 year plan meant to track and recommend improvements to local transit services. Hearing from the public is an important part of making sure future investments in transit make the system work better. To complete an online survey, use the link below or to request hard copy of the survey, call Travis Key, LAPC Associate Transportation Planner, at 608-789-8548. Thank you!
