Hillsborough County Bicycle Survey
Please take a few minutes to complete this short on-line bicycle survey for the Hillsborough MPO.
http://www.hillsboroughmpo.org/getinvolved/foldertakeasurvey
Results will be used in the development of the Comprehensive Bicycle Plan: for prioritizing types of bicycle facilities; where they are needed; and what safety programs would help get more people to try cycling.
Bicyclists have diverse cycling skills and experiences, so it would be best to get a large number and variety of survey respondents. Please circulate this survey to your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.
