GoTriangle invites anyone who works, lives, or visits Downtown Chapel Hill or Downtown Carrboro to take a survey to help evaluate transportation and parking in the two downtowns. This is important because parking needs have a major impact on planning our local and regional transportation infrastructure.
To participate, follow this link: https://www.rsgresearch.com/triangleparking
Individuals who complete the survey have the option to enter a drawing for a 16GB Apple iPad.
The survey will take approximately 12 minutes. Your answers will be kept confidential and will only be used for transportation planning purposes. This study is being conducted for GoTriangle by Resource Systems Group, Inc. (RSG), a national transportation market research firm.
Thank you for helping improve transportation throughout the Triangle region.
Feel free to contact us at triangleparking@rsginc.com if you have any questions.
