TEST CORE SURVEY: What If...? Project
TEST CORE SURVEY: What If...? Project
CORE Members: We want to make sure we are sending out an easy to understand survey for the "What if...?" Scenario Planning Project.
Please REVIEW the information and TEST the survey.
Then, email 93879@publicinput.com or take our survey below to let us know if we need to make any edits or adjustments.
Help us plan for the future! We are thinking ahead and asking:
What might the future hold, and how can we plan for it?
Your input is key—by sharing your thoughts, you’ll help shape how we prepare for challenges and make the most of new opportunities.
Let us know what you think by taking our survey!
This survey is designed to help local leaders imagine how changes in technology, the economy, environment, and communities could shape our future and the ways we get around.
We are very concerned with how these “drivers of change” might affect:
- Communities with less access to transportation, housing, and job opportunities
- People and businesses that might be affected more by flooding, heat, and storms.
Right now, we are exploring different possible futures so we can all better understand the challenges and opportunities ahead.
What we learn will help guide important transportation decisions like where to invest and what policies we create. But first, we want to hear what matters most to you.

Drivers of Change: Policies
Question 1. We have identified 3 areas where elected officials can take action to prepare for the future. Which ones are most important?
- Please rank the options within each category, with your top priority listed first.
- Is there something else we should consider? Use the “Click here to add your own idea” option.
- If a policy is not important to you, or if you are unsure, you do not have to rank it.
Drivers of Change: External Forces
Question 2. These drivers of change are areas that might be outside of the control of our local governments and the State of Maryland. Which ones do you think will be most relevant to your community?
- Please rank the options within each category, with your top priority listed first.
- Is there something else we should consider? Use the “Click here to add your own idea” option.
- If you are not concerned with one of these forces, or if you are unsure, you do not have to rank it.
Defining our Goals
Question 5. We are considering different ways of setting goals and measuring progress. Which of these do you care most about?
Please rank your top priorities for each goal below. Is there anything else we should consider? Use the “Click here to add your own idea" option to share your thoughts with us.
What is Scenario Planning?
We are using scenario planning to explore various possible futures and how these futures could impact the Baltimore region.
What is the purpose of the project?
We will use project results to help us develop transportation plans. Every 4 years, we create a long-range plan for transportation that covers the next 25 years. This project will help us develop goals, strategies, and policies for the long-range plan. Results will also help us to prioritize potential projects to include in the plan.
How will you use my survey responses?
We will use survey responses to develop possible futures, or scenarios, for this project. Responses will also help us define our goals for the project. For example, one goal could be to improve access to jobs in the region.
This project is a joint effort between the Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC) and Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB). We are working to build a better Baltimore region, together.
