Make your Opinion Count
Take our Bicycle and Pedestrian Survey
This survey asks questions about your opinion on pedestrian (someone who is walking) and bicycle safety, and your knowledge on traffic laws related to pedestrians and bicycles. We are using the replies to target our efforts on what needs to be addressed to increase pedestrian and bicycle safety and reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
