  TRANSIT & BICYCLE SURVEYS     
The North Central Texas Council of Governments and the League of American Bicyclists need your feedback to better understand the transportation support needs of our community. UNT was named a Bicycle Friendly University in 2017, and this year Transportation Services has again applied for the designation. Each survey should take five minutes or less to complete. Everyone who responds to the transit survey is automatically entered into a drawing to win one of two $50 Amazon gift cards. Additionally, complete the bicycle survey by Oct. 16, and your responses will help Transportation Services make bicycling on and near campus better for you and our UNT community!
