Athens County wants to hear from you! Transportation for individuals aged 60 years or more is an important part of our community. As we try to better understand what transportation needs Athens County has, please help us learn a little about what transportation you use, what gaps you see in our community, and what you would like to see transportation in Athens County look like in the future by filling out this survey. Feel free to share this survey with family, neighbors, friends, coworkers, or clients.

Once this information is collected,The Athens County Coordinated Transportation Plan will address these issues and plan for important changes to transportation in our area with the Ohio Department of Transportation.
