Do the streets, sidewalks, parks, or buses in your neighborhood make it easier—or harder—to get where you need to go?

Researchers from SMU and UTA want to hear from Dallas community members about their everyday experiences.

Participants will:

• Attend two community meetings
• Complete short surveys
• Use a smartphone app for one week to share their experience getting around Dallas
• Help suggest ways to improve our neighborhoods

Complete all parts of the study and receive $125, plus pizza at both meetings.

Your experience matters. Your voice can help shape better decisions for our neighborhoods.
