You are invited to a public meeting hosted by the Ithaca-Tompkins County Transportation Council (ITCTC) on the 2030 Tompkins County Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP): 6:30pm-8:00pm - October 15, 2008 @ Tompkins County Public Library, 101 E. Green Street, Ithaca, New York. The ITCTC is updating its Long-Range Transportation Plan for Tompkins County. Help us develop a common vision for the future of transportation in Tompkins County. The challenges are many, but so are the opportunities. Transportation will be a key component in any effort to achieve a future addressing energy, environmental, economic and social justice issues in our community. Come have your say on this topic.
The plan covers a 20-year time period through 2030. The purpose and primary objective of the transportation plan is to develop a common vision for the future of transportation in Tompkins County. “Public input is essential for the success of this effort,” stated Fernando de Aragón, director of the ITCTC. “Every five years we update our long range plan. Once again we have the opportunity to help forge a vision for transportation in Tompkins County. Events of the last five years have sharpened our understanding of the challenges we face with regards to global warming, peak oil and now, our economic vulnerability in a truly world economy. Transportation can play an important role in addressing these challenges.” Topics covered by the Long-Range Transportation Plan include: pedestrian and bicycle transportation, traffic circulation, maintenance of infrastructure, safety, transit, trail development and more. For additional information you may contact the ITCTC at 274-5570 or visit the agency web site at www.tompkins-co.org/itctc
