POTTSTOWN PA – An online poll being used to measure public sentiment about highway traffic congestion in Montgomery County PA and across the Delaware Valley, and to gather opinions on funding sources to pay for relieving that congestion, is being conducted by the Harrisburg PA-based Lincoln Institute of Public Opinion Research, TriCounty Area Chamber of Commerce President Timothy Phelps announced Wednesday (Sept. 29, 2010).
U.S. Routes 422 and 202, and the Schulkill Expressway, ar among the highways about which the Lincoln Institute research survey poses questions.
Phelps, in a widely distributed e-mail, invited chamber members “as well as employees, family and friends” to take the web poll hosted at SurveyMonkey.com. It asks for anonymous answers to questions about which area highways are considered most or least congested, which highways are most or least important to area businesses, what improvements should be made to relieve congestion, and how they should be paid for.
The institute, described by Phelps as a non-profit educational foundation, is conducting the survey on behalf of the TriCounty, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia chambers of commerce, in cooperation with the Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation, the Greater Valley Forge Transportation Management Association, and the CEO Council For Growth.
“The survey is very short and your response is important,” Phelps wrote. “We encourage you to pass the survey link on to your associates,” he told e-mail recipients.
The chamber’s involvement stems from its interest in “regional transportation and road improvements issues, since they impact all aspects of our business development,” he added.
