VTrans says RPCs will be invited to nominate regional projects; Multimodal Roadway Guide near internal adoption

Matthew Arancio, a VTrans representative, told the Transportation Advisory Committee on June 2 that transportation planners from regional planning commissions are attending one another’s TAC meetings to learn about committee composition and operations and to coordinate approaches to statewide planning. He reviewed the Process for Non-metropolitan Local Official Participation in the Statewide Transportation Planning Process, a summary document updated every five years and shared with the Federal Highway Administration that explains how VTrans engages regional partners in the Transportation Planning Initiative, the Statewide Long-Range Transportation Plan and the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program.
