GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. —  The Regional Transportation Advisory Committee (RTAC), working to improve the area's transportation options, invites residents, students, employers and employees to complete a survey.

Participants will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Big Y gift card.
 
"We are working to help shape future transportation services and hope that everyone will participate, even if they've never taken a bus in their life," Tate Coleman, chair of RTAC said.
 
The 4-minute survey asks questions about public and senior transportation in Southern Berkshire County. Questions are not specifically about the Berkshire Regional Transportation Authority, but include all forms of transportation south of Pittsfield. The survey is also available in Spanish.
 
"We also encourage people to share this survey link, www.tinuryl.com/gbrtac, with others," Coleman said.
