PennDOT is asking Pennsylvania motorists to help the department monitor its highway safety efforts.
The state agency wants drivers to share their opinions on traffic safety enforcement and driving behaviors through an online survey available through July 27 at www.JustDrivePA.com.
The 22-question survey focuses on highway safety issues, including seat belts, impaired driving, speeding, motorcycles and distracted driving.
