Transportation Planning Advisory Group (currently Moving Forward 2055 Task Force)

Purpose

The Transportation Planning Advisory Group is a broad-based group that helps envison and forge the transportation future in our region.

This group recommends to the Transportation Council actions, programs and policies that support investment in our region's transportation system coordinated through the regional transportation planning process. This includes:

• developing the regional transportation plan (RTP) and supporting community awareness and implementation of the plan; and
• providing recommendations on major state projects, the TMACOG Annual Work Program, special high priority corridor projects, special studies on transportation needs, and other initiatives affecting the transportation system and related economic development.

Activities

Moving Forward 2055: Regional Transportation Plan

This plan is the prioritized list of projects, initiatives, and policies that guide transportation investments in the Toledo metropolitan area (Lucas and Wood counties in Ohio, and southern Monroe County in Michigan). It is not a wish list. It is a carefully weighed and balanced plan that is fiscally constrained based on dollars that we expect to be available.

Join the Planning Advisory Group

All meetings are open. They usually are held the third Tuesday of alternate months at 1:00 p.m. (check with staff). If you are interested in helping to forge regional plans for transportation for northwest Ohio/southeast Michigan, please talk with us. Contact Marissa Bechstein or at 419-241-9155 ext. 1117.
