Simplified the header text on each section to make it more clear where to find pertinent details. Moved “important changes” text box to beginning of questionnaire. Removed extraneous text from “important changes” text box. Highlights of Questionnaire Changes

Added an item to allow operators to easily identify their peak season. Added an item to allow operators to indicate peak periods during the week. Added an item to allow operators to more easily identify peak Weekday hours. Added an item to allow operators to more easily identify peak Weekend hours. Highlights of Questionnaire Changes
