Make your voices heard
|
|
The Atlanta Regional Commission Transportation Roundtable wants your help as it prepares to select projects that would be funded by a proposed transportation sales tax.
Complete this brief survey and tell them your transportation priorities for the future. Survey is available through May 15.
In addition, please take the National Walking Survey today to help America Walks, a national coalition of pedestrian advocacy organizations, learn more about who walks and why. The survey will help walking advocates understand what motivates avid walkers and what keeps others from walking more. America Walks will use the results to help promote pedestrian-friendly design and facilities throughout America.

Report sidewalk hazards in May
|
Local governments rarely engage in proactive sidewalk inspection, which means your involvement in reporting hazards is a critical first step toward improving safety. PEDS encourages you to use our online tool to report sidewalk hazards from May 1 through May 31.
    The more hazards you report during May, the more chances you have to win prizes. PEDS will hold drawings for prizes, including $100 cash, a $75 gift certificate from Phidippides and more on May 16 and May 31. Check peds.org for details on how to participate. |
