Comments Needed on Regional Transportation Plans
Comments sought by the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization
The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization — the group that is responsible for planning and programming state and federal transportation projects in our region — is seeking public comment on regional plans and an air quality report. There are several ways to provide comments.
Regional long-range transportation plan and air quality report
Weigh in on an amendment to transportation improvements included in the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, which identifies future highway, bus, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, and other transportation projects for this region over the next 30 years.
Also, please share feedback on the region’s Air Quality Conformity Determination Report, which demonstrates that the region will continue to attain air quality goals with the implementation of the amended long-range plan.
Comments will be accepted through Aug. 7 and may be submitted online or by contacting Transportation Planner Kelly Fomenko by phone at 919-503-4119 or by email at kelly.fomenko@dchcmpo.org.
