Public Input Sought for Long-Range Transportation Plan Survey
|
|
BALTIMORE, MD (June 16, 2014) - The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) seeks public input for Maximize2040: A Performance-Based Transportation Plan, through an online survey that addresses major trends and external forces that could affect long-term plans and projects. To take the survey, visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Maximize2040.
The BRTB, as the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Baltimore region, is required by federal law to create a long-range transportation plan every four years. In developing the document, the BRTB will consider major trends and external forces that could dramatically change our lives. For examples of several social, technological, economic, environmental and political forces that could be considered, visit the Maximize2040 infographic "Preparing for the Future: Big Ideas."
This is the first phase of scenario planning for Maximize2040. Scenario planning is a technique that can help the BRTB identify major trends and forces and analyze the potential effects. The objective is to find the investment strategy that best addresses the needs of the Baltimore region, while recognizing the challenges it could face in the future.
