2026 Allegheny County Comprehensive Planning Survey

Dear Allegheny County resident:
You are invited to take part in an important opportunity to shape our county’s future.

Allegheny County is working on a bold, exciting new plan that will create a framework to guide growth, investment, and development over the next 25 years. This plan, Allegheny Forward, will influence how our communities evolve by aligning priorities for land use, housing, transportation, infrastructure, economic development, open space, and other issues that affect daily life across the county.

We are requesting your participation in a statistically valid public survey. This approach ensures that the results of this survey truly reflect the voices and experiences of people from across the county, not only those who typically attend public meetings. By participating, you help create a plan rooted in real community insight and diverse perspectives. We need your help!

This survey will take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Responding to each question as accurately as possible is important. Survey data will be compiled and analyzed by ETC Institute, a national firm specializing in local government research. ETC Institute will present the results of this survey this spring, and a complete final report will be available on the project website. Your survey responses are confidential throughout the process.

Please complete your survey within the next two weeks.

To learn more about Allegheny Forward, please visit our project website at engagement.alleghenycounty.us/allegheny-forward. You may also contact the planning team directly at acedplanning@alleghenycounty.us. Thank you in advance for taking the time to share your ideas for our future!

Please take this opportunity to have your voice heard!
