Yes.

I need a representative picture of how the economy is affecting the people of the Mahoning Valley and certainly you may check more than one answer.

Jay did you check WRTA on line for schedules?

[jay]

Do you accept more than one answer per question?

Example
My current answer to question one is "a" and "b".  I will be adding "c" very soon.   I need to complete my collection of WRTA bus schedules.  The station downtown doesn't have all the schedules in the display rack.
