Data from the survey will influence how travel forecasts are calculated, providing an essential update to Michigan\u2019s travel forecasting process. This helps planners strive to boost Michigan\u2019s quality of life and enhance the economic health and viability of the state.\u00a0 The information gained from the survey will be used to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify projects that improve access to jobs, schools, healthcare, and other important activities.<\/li>\n<li>Improve roads, public transit, sidewalks, and bicycle routes.<\/li>\n<li>Make decisions about how and where to spend transportation dollars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Randomly selected households will receive an invitation to participate in the survey via U.S. Mail. Upon accepting the invitation, household members will provide demographic data and then report their travel either via a smartphone application, online, or by telephone.<\/p>\n<p>It is the Department&#8217;s hope that residents will accept and welcome this invitation. To help make this happen, they are asking for your assistance.\u00a0 If you are contacted by a resident, please share that this is an official study conducted by MDOT and the information collected is confidential and secure, as required by law.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information, please visit the survey website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mitravelcounts.com\">www.mitravelcounts.com<\/a>.
