How can the public get involved?
Through discussion of local and regional transportation issues, A/GFTC develops and prioritizes transportation policies, programs and projects for the area’s highway, bridge and public transportation facilities in accordance with its adopted Planning Principles. A/GFTC strives to ensure that the general public is involved in this transportation decision making process through public meetings, hearings, newsletters and other types of outreach that are designed to ensure access to complete information on a timely and continuous basis. These activities are documented in A/GFTC’s LRP and TIP.
