City Releases Third Polco Survey

Bloomington, Ind. - “Volunteerism and Public Engagement” is the latest topic on the City of Bloomington resident survey released Tuesday. Hosted by national survey company Polco, the six-question survey will help the city explore ways to thank, support and encourage Bloomington’s volunteers. The survey is available at Polco.us/groups/city/bloomington-in.  

The first Polco survey was released in mid-November. New survey topics and questions are released on alternate Tuesdays, and the surveys are brief (typically five or six questions). The topic for the first set of questions was rentable electric scooter usage in Bloomington, and the second topic introduced was the quality of City of Bloomington Utilities water service. All three surveys remain open for responses, as each set of questions is active for two months.

Participants will create a user ID on the Polco site by entering their name, zip code and email address. With that information, Polco separately counts participant input from registered voters in the area. However, all survey participants will remain anonymous. The city sees only sees aggregate results, and cannot see how individuals respond. Results are available at Polco.us/groups/city/bloomington-in.

Participants can choose to receive notifications when new survey questions are posted. The city wants resident input to guide choices, and Polco is another opportunity for Bloomington residents to share opinions about topics important to them, influencing decisions that will determine the look, feel and functionality of the city for decades to come.

Residents are invited and encouraged to participate in the online survey regardless of their current level of community engagement.
