Cyclists in North Texas are being asked about issues they face on local roadways in a new interactive survey by the Texas Department of Transportation's Dallas and Fort Worth offices.

Leaders hope the survey leads to more efficient services and eventually better roadways.

Starting Wednesday, the interactive survey, Metroquest, will be used first with cyclists in North Texas.

“The bicycle community is an engaged community that will actively participate in the Metroquest online survey, it will be a first for TxDOT Dallas to use this interactive survey,” TxDOT representative Michelle Raglon said. “TxDOT started with this community because of their interaction with new processes and out of the box expectations for TxDOT.”

The survey allows for cyclists to log issues they face on North Texas roadways and suggest changes to TxDOT. They can mark issues on a map with detailed explanations of what needs to change.

The survey will launch and remain online for 15 days following two upcoming meetings.
