State of Maryland News

- The Maryland Office of Tourism, Department of Transportation, and State Highway Administration are conducting a bicycle user survey to learn more about cyclists in Maryland and what products they would find most useful to help plan bicycle trips. We hope to gain knowledge that will be used to improve cycling products and services. The survey will is expected to take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete. After you are finished, you may enter your name and contact information to be entered into a prize drawing. Prizes will be chosen at random and answers do not affect your chance to win. If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Rebecca Goldman, Research Manager, at the Maryland Office of Tourism at (410) 767-6285.
