Subject: Greater Morgantown Transportation Survey Launched!
Importance: High

Attention Community Leaders:

As many of you are aware, the Morgantown-Monongalia County Metropolitan Planning Organization is in the midst of addressing opportunities for transportation demand management solutions in the area via the TDM Feasibility Study currently being executed by the firm Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB).

One element of this process requires obtaining travel information from those living and working in the study area.  An on-line survey has been developed and is now ready for distribution throughout the Greater Morgantown Area.  We are asking for your assistance in distributing the survey to the public via your normal communication channels. This could include email communications via your intranet; a link on your company website home page; a blurb within your company newsletter (or other public notice); a mention of the survey at an upcoming meeting, or any other method! The survey will be live until May 31, 2010.

The survey can be found at MorgantownCommute.org

IMPORTANT NOTE TO EMPLOYERS:  If you are interested in obtaining a separate copy of the survey results as completed by your employees only, follow these easy steps PRIOR to issuing this notice to your employees:

1. Click on the ‘MorgantownCommute.org’ link to access the survey page and copy the URL address from your browser.

2. Highlight the ‘MorgantownCommute.org’ address within your email message; right click on your mouse and select ‘Hyperlink’.

3. Paste the address into the ‘Insert Hyperlink’ dialogue box at the bottom where it says “Address” adding your company name after the ‘=’ (equal sign) at the end of the URL address.

4. That’s it.  You are now ready to send your email company-wide with the added benefit of tracking employee responses.  All you need to do next is contact David Ungemah via email at ungemah@pbworld.com  to provide him with your contact information for sending of your company’s survey results after completion of the survey process.    

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this process!  To help us gauge the level of local support, we will follow up with you in about a week to hear how you/your organization is helping to market the survey.     

For questions about this project, please contact Bill Austin (MPO Director) at 304-291-9571.  If you have technical problems with this survey, please contact David Ungemah (PB) at ungemah@pbworld.com. For questions regarding this communication, you may contact Tammy Ford (PB) (contact information below).

We look forward to sharing the results with you in the coming months.
