Chatham County has a new “Total Mobility Plan,” wants your input

TOTAL MOBILITY PLAN PUBLIC WORKSHOPS



In September, 2009, the Coastal Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (CORE MPO) adopted the Framework Mobility Plan, which is the federally required Long Range Transportation Plan.

At that time, the CORE MPO took advantage of the opportunities created by the plan update process, to craft the Framework Mobility Plan as the policy foundation for a more in-depth planning effort which will ultimately incorporate an extensive series of new emphasis areas such as sustainability, Complete Streets, Context Sensitive Design, non-motorized transportation and transit into a comprehensive “Total Mobility Plan.” The CORE MPO Total Mobility Plan will strive to address not just the need for transportation, but also the complex interactions between transportation and the community as a whole. In doing so, the Total Mobility Plan will maximize transportation options in ways which support and reinforce community values and character.

Public input is critical to the planning process, and the CORE MPO is pleased to announce the first series of public workshops on the Total Mobility Plan. These meetings will be held at various locations throughout Chatham County in an effort to obtain as much input as possible. If you or someone you know is interested in the future of transportation in our community, please make an effort to attend one of the workshops.

Your input and participation is critical to the development of the plan, so please mark your calendars!!
