Public Meetings
on Long Range Transportation Plan
At a series of public meetings in March, 2014,
transportation planners will be asking people what they want
to see in the region’s transportation system. Toledo
Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) is the
regional Metropolitan Planning Organization responsible for
maintaining a transportation plan that looks out 20 years or
more. The “On the Move 2015-2045 Plan” is in now
development. At the meetings, planners will share
information about the region’s transportation system and ask
for input including a short public survey. Most meetings are
accessible by public transportation and are in different
parts of the community to encourage a wide and diverse
attendance. Light refreshments will be available.
TMACOG Transportation Project Manager Diane Reamer-Evans
said, “To build a transportation system that
serves everyone well, we want everyone to contribute to the
conversation. We need to hear from people who commute by car
and by bus, people who use bicycles for transportation,
business owners who depend on deliveries. Everyone uses the
transportation system and every concern matters.”
Information and surveys are at public libraries in Lucas and
Wood counties and the southern townships of Monroe County,
Michigan. Surveys will also be at the Bedford Business
Association Trade Fair on March 15
& 16 at the booth of the Monroe County Road Commission.
