GO bg Transit Study

The following is a study submitted to the Barren River Area Development District (BRADD) by The Corradino Group, Inc. in June 2010. The purpose of this study is to seek out ways to improve the existing public transit services in Bowling Green. There are two main tasks to this study. These are a customer survey to capture rider information and an examination of current stops to document accessibility. The ridership survey is actually two surveys, one of the GO bg transit riders and the other of the WKU students, faculty and staff. The examination of bus stops in terms of accessibility is essentially an electronic inventory of stops containing attributes associated with each stop and contains the stops of both GO bg transit and Topper Transit.  GO BG Transit Study - Final Report 2010
