Those of us who use Segways in the State of Maryland have a chance to be heard by the consultants working on multi-use trails within the state.

Please participate in this survey and provide input, as per this letter.

It is good to see the word "segway" used as one of the multimodal options.


Dear Friends and Supporters of Trails in Maryland,

I am very excited to let you know that MDOT is leading a strategic planning effort to guide development of a bicycle and pedestrian trail network that connects people to the places in which they live, work, and play. The plan will chart a course for Maryland's state and local agencies to implement a seamless, multi-use trail system that can be used for transportation by bicyclists, pedestrians, runners and others. MDOT is committed to continue working with our local and state partners in this effort and we want your input in the plan development process to ensure that your plans, perspectives, needs and visions are included.

We have created two easy ways for you to provide input: First, I invite you to complete a simple online survey. Click on the following link, which will take you to directly to the survey at the SurveyMonkey website. It will take just a few minutes to fill out.

Second, through our project website, we provide an opportunity to use Google Maps to give us geographic information about where trail improvements and linkages are needed. Go to the website using the link below. You will find instructions there and a link to the Maryland Trails Google Map.

In addition to completing the survey yourself (and giving us ideas on a
map), I want to encourage you to forward this invitation (by email or in
newsletters) to your friends, colleagues and fellow members of bicycle,
pedestrian or trail interest groups in which you are involved. The survey
and map will remain open from now through September 30, 2008.
