Save the dates: You’re Invited to GSATS 2040 MTP Public Hearings

GSATS is gearing up for our 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) update better know as the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). GSATS along with CDM Smith are hosting a series of public meetings on November 16th and 17th and would love for our committee members to be in attendance.   Each meeting will be in the format of a drop-in, open house style, allowing stakeholders and participants to come and go at their leisure and convenience.

Also, prior to the meeting we would like for our committee members to explore and participate with the interactive WikiMap.  WikiMap is an internet-based interactive mapping platform specifically tailored to the GSATS study area. WikiMap allows our committee members and public to address their concerns and desires with the regards to region’s transportation needs. The WikiMap can be accessed from home, work, or anywhere internet access is available via: www.tinyurl.com/GSATSwikimap 

In this first round of public meetings, four meetings will be held. All meetings are the same and are not restricted to a specific area. Please choose a meeting day and time that meets your schedule. Additional meetings will be held throughout the planning process.
