Lancaster County is updating its Transportation Strategy to evaluate current transportation needs, identify future priorities, and help guide investment in the county's roads, bridges, and transportation infrastructure. Since the original Transportation Strategy was completed in 2018, the county has continued to grow, travel patterns have evolved, and construction and maintenance costs have changed. This update will help ensure transportation investments continue to meet the needs of residents, businesses, agricultural operations, and visitors.

Your feedback is an important part of this process. The information you provide will help the county better understand community priorities related to road conditions, bridge improvements, traffic, and future transportation investments.

The survey should take approximately 5–8 minutes to complete. Your responses will be kept confidential and reported only in summary form.

Thank you for sharing your input and helping shape the future of transportation in Lancaster County.
