Topeka Metropolitan Transportation Plan Update
Community Survey #1

The Topeka Metropolitan Transportation Organization (MTPO) is developing a Metropolitan
Transportation Plan to guide transportation investments over the coming decades. The plan will help
identify priorities for improving mobility, safety, accessibility, connectivity, and quality of life throughout
the region.

Your feedback will help inform decisions about roads, sidewalks, bicycle facilities, transit service, trails,
intersections, and other transportation improvements. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes
to complete.

Please answer based on your typical travel and your priorities for the Topeka metropolitan region. Unless noted otherwise, select one response per question.

Transportation choices shape our quality of life, economy, and future. Questions 1-3 explore big-picture
tradeoffs and opportunities to help guide a shared vision for the region through 2050.
