The 2024 Transportation Forum is an opportunity for regional leaders, transportation experts, and advocates to discuss multi-modal transportation and opportunities to improve infrastructure.
We will launch the region's 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), which guides investments for all modes of travel, including road, bicycle, transit, trail, and pedestrian infrastructure. Help us shape an inclusive and widespread engagement process within your communities.
