Urban Systems was present at the RMA trade show and AMSA's convention and took the opportunity to crowd-source some information about what tools, like road classification systems and road construction standards, they are using to make decisions about roads (and communicate those decisions!). The survey link is below, and takes 5-7 minutes to complete. At this time the survey is designed for rural municipalities only. Urban Systems will be sharing out the results of the survey out to those that provide us with their contact information. Thank you for your participation!
