Talbot County Community Pulse Survey

Community Pulse Survey

Talbot Thrive is a new non-profit dedicated to promoting healthy and safe outdoor mobility for everyone living, working and visiting Talbot County, Maryland.

We are conducting this community pulse survey to understand current experiences and perceptions about active transportation. Your input will be used to help us in our work to make all roadways in Talbot County complete, safe and comfortable for all travelers, regardless of mode, and to work to expand the trail network.

All questions are optional, and your responses will be anonymous.

What is active transportation?
Active transportation includes options such as walking and biking, and is ideally linked with transit (e.g., bus, rail, ferry) networks. Well-connected streets with safe pedestrian and bicyclist paths and infrastructure can promote a healthy and active lifestyle for everyone.
