Dear Friends and Supporters of Trails in Maryland,<\/p>\n

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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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.
\nWe have created two easy ways for you to provide input:<\/p>\n

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.
\nhttp:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s.aspx?sm=aFsezUukX8MtDQEpOXS3_2fQ_3d_3d<\/a><\/p>\n

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.
\nhttp:\/\/www.mdot.state.md.us\/Planning\/TSIP\/trails.html<\/a><\/p>\n

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.
\nFor more information about the project, I have attached a project announcement flyer that explains this exciting effort. You can also visit our project homepage at http:\/\/www.mdot.state.md.us\/Planning\/TSIP\/index.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n
