Leave a comment

Whether you bus, bike, walk, skate, scoot, or drive to campus, we’d like to hear from you!

Have your voice heard on travel and transport matters by clicking on the online survey here. The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

Why do the survey? Conducted every four years, the travel survey gives us valuable information to help us improve transport options and experiences at UC, such as installing bike lockups, advocating on your behalf for cheaper bus fares or addressing car-parking concerns.

Plus, everyone who participates in the survey goes in the draw to win a UC hoodie!
