DVRPC conducted a three-phase onboard survey of SEPTA, PATCO, and Pennsylvania TMA transit services between December 2010 and fall 2011. The phases covered PATCO, selected SEPTA rail and bus services, and the remaining SEPTA bus and rapid transit routes.

The public-use database provides access to the survey results while protecting participant anonymity. Detailed survey documentation and selected tabulations are provided in DVRPC’s Philadelphia Regional On-Board Transit Survey (Publication No. 14040).
