Longmont Carbon-Free Transportation Questionnaire

Transportation is one of the largest sources of air pollution in the United States. In an effort to increase air quality, improve overall public health, and ensure you can get where you need to go, the City of Longmont wants to hear your opinions around transportation options like walking, biking, and using electric vehicles - we will refer to these as “carbon-free transportation”. Your responses and feedback will be used to understand existing conditions, community needs, and your experiences with the current transportation system. They will be used to create an implementation roadmap that will guide the City of Longmont’s efforts to ensure all residents and visitors can get around in the most sustainable way, and improve air quality at the same time! We know that COVID-19 is impacting us in a multitude of ways, including how and why we get around town. Please provide as much detail as you can.
