Public Involvement: 2030 Regional Transportation Plan 2006 Update

The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning sponsored seven public workshops throughout Northeastern Illinois in which the public had the opportunity to make comments on the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Update. These meetings took place between May 16th and June 15th, 2006. The comments from these meetings, as well as the surveys, will be added to the official public record for the 2030 RTP Update.

Presentations

The 2030 Regional Transportation Plan Update Presentation was used at each of the seven public meetings. It is intended to provide a basic introduction to transportation planning in Northeastern Illinois, the agencies involved, and the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan.
