The document discusses BRTTools, new tools for engaging users to provide feedback on public transit planning and assessment. It aims to make feedback more dynamic and actionable through mobile apps that can conduct transit experience surveys. A pilot was conducted on the MBTA Silver Line to test a trip-specific questionnaire using the apps to better understand public sentiment and how to improve engagement for public transit planning.
