Geneva-Harpersfield Roadway Safety Action Plan - Community Survey

Survey Questions

The following survey is part of the Geneva-Harpersfield Area'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 for the City of Geneva, Geneva Township, and Harpersfield Township ("Geneva-Harpersfield Area"). Questions in this survey will help the City understand residents' transportation needs and concerns with the transportation network.

The survey consists of 20 questions and a demographics section after the survey questions, all of which are optional. Please note those questions are only intended to ensure an accurate cross-section of residents has been surveyed, to ensure the City is hearing from all types of community members.
