Divvy survey

The team working on Divvy community outreach has created a survey to get information from people in the neighborhood - how they might use Divvy, what they know about the program so far, where they'd like stations, etc.

Click here to take the survey. It only takes a minute or two.

Thank you for offering information to help Divvy bring us the best experience for our neighborhood.
