Village Surveys
We are currently looking at the transportation network (streets, sidewalks, bike paths, transit connections) to identify opportunities for improving the safety, comfort, and feasibility of active transportation in your village. Your valuable input will help guide this process. Please take the survey and participate in the interactive mapping activity below!
Events
Our Village Connectors attend community events regularly, and hold engagement events of their own, in an effort to meet with community members and capture as much community input as possible. Come visit our Connectors at one of these fun community events and learn how active transportation can be improved and transformed in your neighborhood!

- Tabling at community events
- Getting the word out about the program in your community
- Assisting with stakeholder interviews
- Helping create and grow a community contact list

- Participate in all five (5) Connector meetings
- Attend at least three (3) community meetings or events and conduct outreach work
- Dedicate an average of ten (10) hours per month to the program from September 2024 to April 2025
Application Process
The PhxCAN project team will review candidates, conduct brief interviews and make selections that ensure that Connectors:
- Have roots in or long-established relationships with the communities they represent
- Represent and/or have connections with racially and/or ethnically diverse communities, and potential intersections, such as low-income populations and older adults
- Are able to reach and deeply engage their community, and provide a diverse representation of community perspectives
