UPDATE: Postponed by Senator Jim Bunning!

Mark your calendars for this important public participation opportunity! KIPDA conducts periodic performance reviews of their transportation planning department, and in the past these federal reports have been helpful in nudging the agency in the right direction.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is seeking public input during the federal review of the metropolitan transportation planning process for the Louisville Metropolitan Planning Area that takes place once every four years. A public meeting will be held on March 9, 2010 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the South Louisville Community Center, 2911 Taylor Blvd., in Louisville.

Here is a map. The TARC #29 goes right by, and the ultra-frequent #4 comes within a seven minute walk.

This meeting will be the public’s opportunity to talk directly with Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration officials about the Louisville area transportation planning process.

The results of the FHWA/FTA 2006 transportation planning review can be found at http://www.kipda.org/Transportation/MPO/FederalCertificationReview2010.aspx and are also available by calling Josh Suiter at (502) 266-6084.

Written comments may also be submitted until March 25 to:

Greg Rawlings
FHWA
330 West Broadway
Frankfort, KY 40601
or by e-mail to Gregory.Rawlings@fhwa.dot.gov.

For those needing special accommodation, please contact Josh Suiter at (502) 266-6084 at least three days prior to the meeting.
