Positive customer experiences can build ridership and community support. More than 60 U.S. transit agencies have implemented some kind of customer experience program through a variety of organizational models and approaches. In GA, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority's commitment led to direct investments in station rehabilitation. In PA, the customer feedback goes beyond riders. Making the concept part of their strategic plan, Pittsburgh Regional Transit places surveys at operator comfort stops and initiated staff training on de-escalation, resulting in a decrease in operator discourtesy complaints. With a longer history of a formalized CX program, TransLink in Metro Vancouver, BC, is working towards contactless payments and expanding free Wi-Fi access.
TCRP Synthesis 187: Transit Agency Customer Experience Programs pulls together an industry scan, survey, case examples, and the evolution of CX programs within the transit industry. Check it out and find tips for your own programs!
