Question Title

Why plan? We are creating the “On the Move” transportation plan because:
 It's required — so our region can get federal funds to improve roads, bridges, bike paths, public transit, etc.
 It helps us set goals and choose the most important projects.

What’s in the draft plan?
 There are 154 “priority” projects (ones we expect we can fund) in the draft plan.
 The plan will include “committed” projects (already funded) and a reserve list (good projects, but we don’t think we can fund them).
 To see the plan: visit www.tmacog.org (click “On the Move”) or contact TMACOG for a copy.

Do you agree with the “On the Move” 2015-2045 Plan? Please provide your comments!

We propose to spend about 74% on expressways, roads and bridges, and 26% on other modes like railroad overpasses, public transit, and bikeways.
