The Metropolitan Area Planning Council is surveying Maynard residents to better understand the public transportation needs of the community. The survey is part of a larger effort to address the lack of public transportation options across 13 towns between Route 128 and Interstate 495. The results will help the Planning Council understand who is currently using a form of public transportation, what they are using it for, and their destination. The council will also ask why residents don’t use public transportation. The goal of the survey is to find more efficient and cost-effective solutions to provide public transportation to residents, businesses, and organizations across all 13 towns.
