List of questions to ask workshop participants (and others) and create MS Forms a la CyIPT form

[Robinlovelace]

It will be good to continuously get feedback. We have done this in the past with Microsoft Forms - e.g. see here which is linked to from https://www.cyipt.bike/

That works fine and is a safe default. But wonder if there are other better mechanisms to this - any ideas from software/design/future-proofing perspectives welcome, what is best practice these days?

In any case, whichever form system we use, we need some questions. I can think of some but will start it as an open question: what questions should we ask knowledgeable stakeholders who use this for the first time?

Follow-up from meeting today - looking to get your input on this @mvl22, @Siequnu and @joeytalbot. What do we want to ask people about the prototype on 12th March and possibly longer term? Starter for 10 based on the still working CyIPT form:

• [ ] In what capacity are you interested in this tool (nat. gov., local gov., consultancy, developer, advocacy)?
• [ ] Which aspects of active travel/development planning are you most interested in (options tbc)?
• [ ] Which locations are you in?
• [ ] ...

[mvl22]

[ ] How effectively do you feel the website conveys how cycle/walking -friendly a site is? [ ] Are there any key data sources which you use when judging developments, that we have not included?

Updated title after chat with @joeytalbot - we can close this issue when a MS Form is up and running - similar to this: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=qO3qvR3IzkWGPlIypTW3y9orQ9urif9IgBaXiRS9eEpURURCMEZPVjBRUDg2UTlWSjZYOVlRSU9DTC4u

[ ] How confident are you that your team could use this tool alongside existing datasets to inform decisions? (or something similar to test out their comfort w/ using the tool -- some LPAs are still using manual google map routing for accessibility, some just outsource for TRACC)

• 'In what capacity' I would split out Local Gov - Planning and Local Gov - Transport. They'll be more familiar with different data sets, and seeing the difference would be useful to push for better integration between teams.
• Location - I've asked for English region. I've also asked for settlement type-- 'predominately urban/suburban' 'predominately rural' and 'urban'. It's not a strict classification, and it's subjective, but might help inform next steps? Maybe 'other' for consultants, etc.?

Some specific to A/B Street:

• How could A/B Street help you with outreach about proposed transportation changes? Is it useful to visualize lane details and let people interactively "watch" their own commute?
• How much feedback do you solicit from the public about changes they'd like to see? Would accepting map edit proposals from A/B Street improve your processes or engage more people?
• What kind of decisions do you currently use traffic simulation software to inform? What're the biggest difficulties with it?
• What missing features or problems with A/B Street would you like to see improved?

This is looking great. A few quick comments:

In which settlement type are you based?

Is that really necessary? I think "In which settlement types are you most interested in?" will be more relevant to practitioners.

I think a free text question along the lines of "What tools do you currently use for assessing walking and cycling provision and potential in/around sites?" with a free text or options like:

• [ ] Google Maps

• [ ] PCT

• [ ] TRACC

• [ ] Other

• If you said other please state which

That would be really useful info.

[mvl22]

What tools do you currently use

If you are going to ask this, it needs a longer list (I'm not sure what the entries would be), and put GMaps at the end as that's not a proper assessment tool.

[joeytalbot]

Here's an updated questionnaire. It's getting quite long now. https://forms.office.com/Pages/DesignPage.aspx#FormId=qO3qvR3IzkWGPlIypTW3yyMypkiIdOJGrvs4vzE0KWxUQzY2WDhJVFNDTzk0Q1oxQlVSSkJaSUVGMi4u&Token=1b25122d7478446486131eba0b4e13de

[Robinlovelace]

Are there any less important questions we can remove?

[mvl22]

No. 12/13 seems obsolete since we already have that in place.

Does Office Forms let 'other' be combined into the previous question? Those 'other' questions really bulk up the length.

[Robinlovelace]

This is looking great to me :+1:
