NJ Transit is conducting its third COVID-19 survey. Here’s why taking it matters. Updated Dec 19, 2020; Since the coronavirus pandemic, NJ Transit commuters have filled out two surveys about their travel patterns. Now, the agency is turning to its travelers for a third time, asking them to take a survey that NJ Transit can use to plan its service. The results of the last two surveys show why taking it matters, experts said. The latest survey builds on two previous ones that have been undertaken to let NJ Transit officials plan bus, rail and light rail service and to measure how the agency is doing sanitizing equipment and facilities.
