Unmet
Transit Needs Survey
Do you feel that current transit service is not meeting your everyday
needs? The San Joaquin Council of Governments wants to know! Every
year, SJCOG asks San Joaquin County Residents to help us determine
if there are any Unmet Transit Needs in the county. If you have
difficulties getting from one location in the county to another,
such as from your house to a doctor's appointment, please let us
know by completing this survey. The survey will be of great help to
us in meeting transit needs in San Joaquin County!
