Cherokee County Unveils Transportation Plan Survey

CANTON, GA —Cherokee County is in the process of updating its Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP), and officials on Tuesday introduced a 26-question online survey designed to help them gain the public's input during the process.

The updated CTP - called Cherokee Moves - is necessary, officials said, because Cherokee County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the metro Atlanta area, with a population that has doubled in the last 20 years.

"With that growth, comes new demands on the current and future transportation networks," officials said in a statement introducing the survey. "(Resident) input will help inform what transportation projects and priorities the county puts forward."

The survey asks questions about topics like:

• How much people drive
• The modes of transportation they use
• Satisfaction levels with certain area roads
• Satisfaction with other modes of transportation (public transportation and bicycle paths)
• What the county should prioritize in transportation-related public works projects
• Likely support for different funding methods for those projects
• Transportation-improvement priorities in different areas of the county
