BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

Each year the Communications & Marketing Department, in coordination with our advertising agency, R&R Partners, conducts a Benchmark Survey to the general public throughout UTA’s service area. The survey effort typically starts with focus groups, followed by a telephone survey. As part of the 2021-2022 Benchmark Survey, focus groups were conducted in fall 2021, followed by the telephone survey in January-February 2022.

The Benchmark Survey is a broad survey designed to guide staff’s communications and marketing messaging strategy by assessing:

                     Overall public perception of UTA as an organization

                     Public perception of UTA’s services

                     High-level indicators of why people ride / don’t ride

                     High-level indicators of the top things that would encourage people to ride

                     Do people see / remember hearing messages about UTA

                     Where do people typically see / remember messages about UTA

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

The team will make a presentation to the Board of Trustees about the key results from the 2021-2022 Benchmark Survey. Staff will be prepared to answer questions from the Board of Trustees.
