The North Central Texas Council of Governments is looking at ways to fill gaps in the region’s public transportation system and commuters can weigh in.

NCTCOG is a voluntary association to assist local governments in regional planning.

The association is looking for residents or commuters to take a survey on transportation in east Dallas, Kaufman, and Rockwall Counties.

Planners want to get a better understanding of existing transit needs, development patterns and how they can integrate those residents outside current public transportation authorities into a more comprehensive system, NCTCOG officials said in a statement.

The 14-question survey is open until April 1.

NCTCOG will meet 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Denton Senior Center to discuss filling gaps in transportation based on findings from the Denton County Transit Study.

A meeting about east Dallas, Kaufman, and Rockwall Counties transit gaps will be held Feb. 28 at 6 p.m. at the Rockwall County Library.
