\"\"TOLEDO: TMACOG is seeking public input as it updates its \u201dMoving Forward 2055\u201d Regional Transportation Plan.<\/p>\n

The plan is an essential document that is federally required and incorporates all modes of transportation.<\/p>\n

Through extensive stakeholder outreach and public involvement, TMACOG and its members will attempt to identify future needs by looking at the current system, identifying new technology and trends, predicting future revenue, and identifying ways to make the transportation system safer, accessible, inclusive, and more efficient.<\/p>\n

TMACOG is gathering information on people\u2019s needs and how they think the regional transportation system should be developed over the next three decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen trying to plan 30 years into the future, it is so important to understand what residents throughout our region want and need in a transportation system,\u201d said Marissa Bechstein, a TMACOG transportation planner who is coordinating the plan update. \u201cEven though it can be difficult to think so far into the future, we challenge members of the public to think big and provide us with feedback on what they think our transportation system will and should look like.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are multiple ways to get involved. An online survey offers anyone the chance to share their input. Complete the survey, which takes about 5 minutes by November 30 at\u00a0https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/MovingForward2055<\/a>. To access the survey in Spanish, go to\u00a0https:\/\/es.surveymonkey.com\/r\/CLVBPS9<\/a>. Four people who complete the survey will be selected to receive a $25 gift card.<\/p>\n
