Thomasville Multimodal Transportation Survey

We want to hear from you! The City is creating a transportation plan that will guide future projects and policies to make it safer and easier for everyone to get around. Your input will help us understand community priorities, identify safety concerns, and shape the vision for transportation in our community.

This survey should take about 5 minutes to complete. Your responses are anonymous, and your stories and ideas will directly inform the plan.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and helping us build safer streets for all.
