Social media isn’t enough. Learn how Alaska DOT & PF surveyed 5,000 residents online for actionable results!
Watch this on-demand webinar to learn how the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities collected actionable public input online from nearly 5,000 residents to inform the Glenn Highway Integrated Corridor Management Study.
Social media works for sharing information, but let’s get real. How can you collect quantifiable public input for your transportation plan? Joann Mitchell and Heather Edic with Kinney Engineering share how careful preparation, one unfortunate bridge accident, and a compelling online survey resulted in over 80,000 data points to uncover current travel habits, issues, and new transportation ideas for Glenn Highway.
What You’ll Learn:
