2036 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) due August, 2011
The workshop will include discussions on the following aspects:
How will we accommodate different modes of transportation within project?
How will we address safety and security within each project?
How do we address livability and sustainability concepts within each project?
Purpose of the Work Session
How do we address Smart City Initiatives within each project?
How do we address quality of life and air quality within each project?
What type of public education projects are needed in the region?
How can we accommodate Transit Oriented Development (TOD) within future transportation projects?

Introducing DMATS
City of Asbury, City of Peosta, City of Dubuque, City of Centralia, City of East Dubuque, Dubuque County , Jo Daviess County & Grant County
