To improve customer experiences for Metro riders and to help prioritize budget choices, staff developed a comprehensive customer experience survey tool. Staff will present highlights of the survey results for 2020, based on customer ratings of over 40 aspects of service.

Background
BACKGROUND
The 2020 Customer Experience Survey was conducted October 7-23, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the survey was conducted on-line among a random sample of customers who previously completed on-board surveys. Note that staff intend to return to on-board surveys after the pandemic recedes.

Results are based on 1,287 completed surveys. Data is weighted to ensure that the findings reflect the demographic composition of Metro riders as taken from the 2019 On-Board survey to ensure equity and inclusion of all riders.

Customer Experience Surveys are an essential source of insight into the customer experience, and are responsive to Board Motion 38.1 (2018) that requires staff to prepare annual customer experience plans.

DISCUSSION
The 2020 Customer Experience survey is being utilized to prioritize and phase customer experience investments for the FY22 budget, and to identify pain points to be addressed in the 2021 Customer Experience Plan. The cornerstone of the survey findings is something called a Quadrant Chart that identifies target issues for improvement based on customer ratings. There is one Quadrant Chart for bus and one Quadrant Chart for rail. Staff plan to also include Metro Micro in future Customer Experience surveys.
