Safety Survey

To build a plan for everyone, we need your help! This plan will consider the transportation safety needs of all people in the AMATS region, encompassing Anchorage, Chugiak, and Eagle River. Whether you walk, bike, drive, use a wheelchair, take transit, or do something else, we want to hear from you. Please complete this brief survey to share your thoughts about transportation safety in the region. We will continue to share information on this page about how you can participate throughout the plan development process.
