Do You Work in Downtown Columbia? Take This Survey
As part of the development of our Transportation Demand Management Plan for Downtown Columbia (DTC), we are working with the Downtown Columbia Partnership to survey those who work in DTC to better understand your transportation needs and assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on your travel patterns. Your responses will help us design new transportation options and strategies to address current needs, as well as serve commuters to Downtown Columbia into the post-COVID period.
