Who rides the Lee Tran?
The TDP gathered information about Lee Tran riders through surveys. The study showed bus riders tend to be permanent residents with annual household incomes of less than $25,000. Most riders use the Lee Tran to get to and from work and a large number of riders do not have a car. The majority of customers surveyed are regular, with more than 90 percent riding more than once a week. On the other hand, trolley riders are mostly seasonal residents with annual household incomes greater than $80,000. Routes extend not only through Fort Myers, but through Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, Lehigh, Bonita, and the entire stretch of Pine Island, from Bokeelia to St. James City. Lee Tran also serves disabled citizens through Passport, an ADA Paratransit service. In 2004, in the aftermath of Hurricane Charley, the Lee Tran provided service to those seeking shelter and people with special needs.
