Transportation Plan Open House Tomorrow Night

Don't forget that tomorrow is SRTC's open house to gather input on the 2012-2015 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and 2012 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP).

Both documents are currently available for public review and comment through 4 p.m. on December 18.

The MTP is a long-term, “blueprint” for transportation aimed at meeting the mobility needs of the area through the year 2035. Transportation plans and projects proposed to potentially be constructed by all jurisdictions within Spokane County over the next 25 years are included in the MTP. That document can be found here.

The TIP is a short-term document that provides information on state and local projects planned for construction or implementation within the next four years. The TIP contains funding information for all modes of transportation including highways and transit. You can review the TIP here.

The open house is 5-7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 6 at SRTC, 221 W. First Ave., Suite 310 so come by and give us your input.
