Norfolk Naval Shipyard Survey
Hampton Roads Transit is exploring improved transit options for people commuting to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth.
Parking is restricted at the shipyard and many commuters are using local neighborhoods when shipyard lots are full, depriving residents of access to parking they normally rely upon.
Among the options being considered is an express bus service, a point-to-point service with very limited stops, to the shipyard from park and ride facilities during normal working hours.
This survey is intended to understand if commuters would be interested in this service. In addition, HRT hopes to learn where commuters begin their trips and what park and ride lots are near their homes. HRT wants to improve the quality of life in Portsmouth by reducing the dependency on personal vehicles during the regular work week.
