Nash County CTP Survey

Dear Nash County Resident:

We need YOUR input! Nash County and its municipalities are working in coordination with the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the Upper Coastal Plain RPO to develop a county wide Comprehensive Transportation Plan. The purpose of this plan is to identify county and municipal transportation problems, now as well as in the future, and identify solutions which provide for a safe and reliable transportation system. In order for this plan to be truly comprehensive it must contain input from local residents. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey and ensure the opinions and concerns of Nash County residents are addressed within the plan.

Thank you for your assistance!
