Transportation study survey

Barrington-area residents are asked to participate in a survey of transportation needs. The Barrington Area Council on Aging, along with Barrington and Cuba townships, are asking all residents to take the survey, even if they don't currently need transportation assistance. To print out the survey, go to the Barrington village Web site, ci.barrington.il.us, and click on "Barrington Area Transportation Study." Responses are requested by Feb. 20.

Cost is $99, with a $24 discount for those who join with a friend or relative. For details, call (708) 287-9303.
