Greenlink Seeks Community Input Mauldin Residents Encouraged to Take Transit Survey

As the Golden Strip continues to experience rapid growth, city officials and regional transit leaders are looking to the public for guidance on the future of transportation. Greenlink, the public transit provider for Greenville County, is officially calling on Mauldin residents to participate in a comprehensive survey designed to shape the next decade of local transit services.

The survey is a central component of the Greenlink 2035 Transit Plan. This long-term initiative aims to identify where residents need to go and how the transit system can better serve the community as Mauldin transitions into a more walkable, urban environment centered around developments like BridgeWay Station and the upcoming City Center.

Mapping the Future of Connectivity

The goal of the outreach effort is to gather data on commuting habits, preferred travel times, and specific locations where residents would like to see new or expanded bus stops. Currently, Greenlink operates several routes that touch the Mauldin area, but leaders recognize that as the city’s footprint changes, so do the needs of its workforce and students.

By participating in the survey, residents can provide feedback on several key areas including:

• Service Frequency: How often buses should run during peak morning and evening hours.

• Weekend Accessibility: The demand for increased Saturday and Sunday service to support local retail and entertainment hubs.

• Technology Integration: Interest in real-time tracking apps and easier payment methods for frequent riders.

• Infrastructure Needs: Identifying where new shelters, benches, and improved sidewalk connections are most needed.

A Voice for the Golden Strip

City leaders in Mauldin are emphasizing that this is a critical time for the Golden Strip to be heard. As regional planning often focuses on the downtown Greenville corridor, the survey provides a direct way for Mauldin, Simpsonville, and Fountain Inn residents to advocate for their specific transportation needs.

Reliable transit is a key pillar of economic development, noted one city official. As we bring in new jobs and housing, we have to ensure that our people have a reliable way to get to work, school, and healthcare without always relying on a personal vehicle.

How to Participate

The survey will remain open through the end of the month and is available in both English and Spanish. Residents can access the questionnaire via the Greenlink website or through links provided on the City of Mauldin’s official social media pages.

For those who prefer a more personal interaction, Greenlink staff will also be hosting several pop-up information stations at local landmarks like the Mauldin Cultural Center and the Ray Hopkins Senior Center over the coming weeks to answer questions and assist with survey completion.
