Bay Region to host state long-range plan session


FLINT – The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is developing a new state long-range transportation plan (SLRTP), known as Michigan Mobility 2045 (MM 2045), that will establish a vision and priorities for transportation in Michigan for 25 years.

The MDOT Bay Region is hosting two meetings in a series of in-person statewide visioning sessions. Staff will be on hand to gather input today (March 14), from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Farmer’s Market at 300 East First St. in Flint.

The visioning session will provide the public and key stakeholders a collaborative context for informing engagement methods and establishing transportation priorities. The public is encouraged to share input on the best methods for outreach to marginalized communities, including environmental justice, Americans with disabilities, and tribal governments.

With advance notice of seven days, accommodations can be made for persons with disabilities and/or limited English-speaking ability, and persons needing auxiliary aids or services of interpreters, signers, readers, or large print. Call 517-335-4381.

The public can view the public and stakeholder participation plan, provide comments, and get information on these sessions at www.MichiganMobility.org. Public comments also can be sent to MDOT-MichiganMobility@ Michigan.gov or shared with MDOT’s social media sites at www.facebook.com/MichiganDOT or www.twitter.com/ MichiganDOT. – G.G.
