TRS Member Satisfaction Survey 

A third-party vendor is conducting the TRS Member Satisfaction Survey to help us learn how we can best serve you.

Based on responses to the previous survey, TRS enhanced MyTRS with online payment history and streamlined retirement applications to reduce processing time and errors. Your input also helped us improve member communications through educational videos, more accessible digital newsletters and clearer retirement planning information.
