SRTC Policy Board Meeting & Brown Bag Session This Week

SRTC's Policy Board meets for its regularly scheduled monthly meeting this Thursday, June 13 at 1 p.m. The meeting will be immediately preceded, starting at 11:30 a.m., by a brown bag lunch session to discuss development of SRTC’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Horizon 2040.

Horizon 2040 is a long-term, multimodal “blueprint” for transportation aimed at meeting the mobility needs of the area through the year 2040. It is based on projections for growth in population, housing and jobs and takes into consideration every mode of transportation. The strategies in Horizon 2040 will be instrumental in sustaining and growing the quality of life and economic health of our region.

Specifically, the brown bag session will give staff an opportunity to discuss with the Board a scenario analysis process used to help develop portions of Horizon 2040. This process uses land use and financial scenarios to identify potential future projects and programs to improve key area transportation corridors in the future.

More information and the first three draft chapters of Horizon 2040 can be found at http://www.srtc.org/mtp_2040.html.

 

The public is welcome to attend both sessions and, as always, there will be opportunity at the Board meeting for public comment on transportation-related topics. 

The Board meeting agenda is here.
