This
survey is being conducted by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind
(CNIB). The purpose of the secret rider survey is to gather
information about the barriers commonly encountered on fixed-route public
transit across Canada. The evidence gathered will be used to
assess the accessibility of each transit system, and the results will be
presented to local decision makers and will inform recommendations on how to
improve public transit accessibility.
As a “secret rider,” you will be asked to use your local
transit system and rate the accessibility of various aspects of the journey on
a scale of 1 to 5. A survey will be provided with questions related to:
· Customer
service
· Website
and apps
· Stops
and stations
· Vehicle
design
You will also be able to provide additional comments and
feedback on anything else you want to highlight.
We
will treat your personal information as confidential and will be anonymized
unless you disclose identifying information in a written response. No
information that discloses your identity will be released or published without
your specific consent. All research data will be stored and protected by CNIB
data policies.

over the phone with a volunteer, please contact advocacy@cnib.ca.
