Been in a bike or pedestrian collision in Globe or Miami?

Posted

Our community is great in so many ways, but it’s no secret that Globe and Miami streets are less ‘pedestrian and bicycle friendly’ than other places in Arizona. How could our streets be safer?
If you were walking or bicycling and were struck by a car in the past five years, or were driving a vehicle that collided with a walker or cyclist -- whether your fault, theirs, or nobody’s fault -- please take three minutes to complete a brief online bike/pedestrian collision survey. The purpose of this survey is to gather data to apply for future grants to improve pedestrian and bicycling safety here in Globe-Miami.

Anonymous and easy to complete, the survey asks when your accident happened, what type of road or trail you were on, and daylight or darkness conditions when the collision occurred. Your experience can help make local roads safer!

Please take a couple of minutes and answer questions posted at  surveymonkey.com/r/DF9JGFZ (you’ll find convenient ‘click here’ links at Gila County Health & Emergency Management’s website and also on  facebook.com/gilacohealthem). If you’re unable to access that website, have questions about this survey or want to be involved in future safety planning, email Whitney Conger at
