Scorecard launched in July 2011 and was designed to provide the public with a clear measurement of how the organization is performing, while driving strategic decisions to improve the overall customer experience. Along with the latest survey results, the agency also announced its new customer satisfaction goal of 6.5 for the current fiscal year.
The survey was conducted online at njtransit.com and in the field between June 8 and June 29. The survey asked bus, rail, light rail and Access Link customers to rate New Jersey Transit on a scale of 0 to 10. Customers also considered 41 attributes of the system related to facilities, service, vehicles, communications and the overall experience using New Jersey Transit. In addition, customers were asked to identify the most important aspects of service among the items they rated.
Of the approximately 440,700 customers who use the service on a typical weekday, New Jersey Transit received nearly 16,000 responses to the online and field survey.
Regarding customer loyalty, 76 percent of the customers surveyed said they would recommend New Jersey Transit to a friend, relative or neighbor (up from 67 percent from the baseline rating). The organization established the baseline with the first customer survey conducted in advance of the launch of Scorecard last year.
Of the 41 attributes of the system customers were asked to rate, system wide scores increased on all but two attributes - Payment Options and New Jersey 's website - both of which remained constant at a strong score of 7.0.
Surveys are being conducted quarterly.
