We’ve developed our 2023 Community Feedback Surveys to find out what our riders love about SporTran and what we can do better. We need your input!
Please scan the QR code below or click the link for the survey that best fits how you ride. One survey is for standard fixed-route passengers. There is a separate survey for OnDemand riders, whether you use OnDemand microtransit (OnDemand stop to OnDemand stop) or SporTran's OnDemand ADA/Paratransit service. If you ride the bus AND OnDemand, we invite you to take both surveys.
All participants are anonymous - SporTran will not be collecting your name or contact information for any reason. All we want is your opinion!

Shreveport, LA --- Following ordinance approval by the Shreveport City Council, SporTran is pleased to announce that fares for all vehicles and services inside the Shreveport-Bossier City limits will be free to the public for 2022 and 2023 beginning January 2, 2022.
The move to “Zero Fare” ridership was made possible by a federal grant, which will cover the fare cost of SporTran bus and OnDemand travel in the SporTran service area. Zero Fare begins Sunday, January 2, 2022. SporTran President and CEO Dinero’ Washington is excited about the impact Zero Fare will have on passengers.
“On behalf of myself and the entire team at SporTran, we are thrilled to be able to offer all rides inside our service area for free during the next two years,” Washington stated. “Those in our community who depend on SporTran for transportation will benefit so much from this reduction to their daily expenses. We also hope it encourages everyone in our community to ride SporTran, whether it be every day or every once in a while. Zero Fare is another giant step in SporTran’s ongoing effort to make local public transit affordable, safe, and easy to use.”
In addition to Zero Fare, SporTran is expecting delivery on the first of 9 new standard buses in December. The transit organization will add a total of 35 new vehicles to its fleet over the next 18 months.
