Idaho Transportation Department hosts public meetings on long-range transportation plan
MERIDIAN - The Idaho Transportation Department is hosting public meetings on Thursday (May 3) to share information on a plan that identifies how future funding, technology, demographics and economics will shape transportation in Idaho to the year 2040.
The meetings will be at 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. at the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho (COMPASS), 700 E. 2nd Street, Meridian.
Public input will help the department update its Long-Range Transportation Plan: IDAGO 2040. The 2:00 p.m. meeting will gather feedback from professional stakeholders involved in transportation issues. The 6:00 p.m. meeting will present the input from the stakeholders and allow the public to participate in an online survey that asks respondents about their transportation priorities.
Similar meetings have
been held throughout Idaho. The meeting on Thursday is the last of these meetings.
Public input is important to the planning effort. The transportation department is offering an online public opinion survey.
