Please take the survey below!

The purpose of this survey is to better understand how a potential new train station in Newport could serve the community. Your feedback will help identify the types of trips people would make by train, and ensure that future transportation investments reflect the needs of residents, workers, and visitors.

The survey should only take a few minutes, and your input is invaluable in shaping the future of transportation in Newport. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
