TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION ASKING FOR INPUT FOR 25-YEAR TRANSPORTATION PLAN
SPARTA, Tenn. – Your
help is needed. The Sparta – White County Chamber of Commerce has partnered
with Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) to bring a public survey
forum to White County in an effort to gather data for the Tennessee Long-Range
Transportation Plan.
The
event will be held at 8:30 a.m., Friday, August 15, 2014, in the third floor
courtroom at the White County Courthouse, 1 E. Bockman Way.
TDOT is
creating a new long-term vision for transportation in Tennessee and public
input is needed. This 25-Year Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) provides
the foundation for prioritizing transportation investments across the State.
The updated plan will aid in accomplishing TDOT's mission to serve the public
by providing the best multimodal transportation system in the Nation.
In
response to the projected growth and demand, TDOT welcomes input in the
development of the LRTP. The Plan will take a look at changes in population,
demographics, the economy, technology, land use, departmental policies, and
other variables to develop a data-driven roadmap to guide TDOT efforts over the
next 25 years. Your feedback is critical for Tennessee today and in the future.
A major
outcome of this two-year comprehensive effort is a mid-term, 10-Year Strategic
Investment Program. The intent of the 10-Year Strategic Investment Program is
to capture the insights gained during the development of the 25-Year Long-Range
Transportation Plan to concurrently develop a project program investment plan
that is fiscally constrained that can be implemented over a 10-year horizon.
Please RSVP
by 12 noon, Wednesday, August 13, 2014, by calling the Chamber office at (931)
836-3552.
