The Kansas Department of Transportation needs your input to help identify statewide bicycling and pedestrian needs. 

Survey respondents will be asked how they use and value bicycling and walking facilities and policies and whether changes are needed. Becky Pepper, KDOT bicycle pedestrian coordinator, said an online survey has been posted on KDOT’s website, www.ksdot.org  to collect the opinions and comments of Kansans. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete.

“The survey will help us better understand how to use limited resources for bicycling and pedestrian facilities in Kansas,” Pepper said.  “The survey is part of the Kansas Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan update to enhance transportation and related goals of safety, public health, recreation, tourism and community development.” 
 
KDOT planners are also interested in identifying possible collaborations and cost sharing arrangements to best leverage limited resources for the greatest impact, she said.  
An 18-member Kansas Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan Advisory Board is providing multiple perspectives and guidance on this study that will completed by fall 2013.
