SurveyMonkey Powered Online Survey

Your recommended walking & cycling online resources

Dear colleagues

I am working with a global environmental agency to redesign, curate and repopulate their website, to ensure that it meets the needs of a wide range of NMT (non-motorised transport, or walking and cycling) practitioners.

As part of this process, we would like to understand more about how you search for NMT content online, what information you search for, and which sites currently best meet your needs (we do not wish to take users away from these sites, but to link to them...). During the survey we ask that you let us have details of these resources, so you might wish to get the addresses before starting the survey.

We would be grateful if you could complete this survey (approximately 5-10 minutes) by close of business 29 February 2016.

We will not share your personal details with anyone. All responses will be used collectively to provide a report, which we will share with you if you provide your contact details.

Thank you - we value your time and assistance. Please share as widely as you wish.

If you would like further information, you are welcome to contact me: gail@gailjennings.co.za.

With best wishes
Gail
