Village of Jefferson Roadway Safety Action Plan - Community Survey

Survey Questions

The following survey is part of the Village of Jefferson’s Roadway Safety Action Plan. This plan, funded through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safe Roads and Streets for All (SS4A) program, will help identify portions of the transportation network that are dangerous, difficult to navigate, or are otherwise unsafe. Questions in this survey will help the Village understand residents' transportation needs and concerns.

The survey consists of 20 transportation-focused questions and 6 demographics questions. The demographic questions are optional. Please note these questions are only intended to ensure an accurate cross-section of residents has been surveyed, to ensure the Village is hearing from all types of community members.

For more information on how to get involved, email Genevieve Ravenwood, Planner II, at gravenwood@verdantas.com.
