Introduction
What will the Toledo metropolitan area look like in 30 years? Over the next three decades, what improvements in transportation do we need for better freight movement, personal mobility, and regional strength?
These are the core questions for TMACOG and the people of our region (Lucas and Wood counties in northwest Ohio, plus southern Monroe County, Michigan). The answers will be found in the "On the Move: 2007-2035 Regional Transportation Plan."
A broad-based leadership team is working with TMACOG staff. The plan task force has heard from the public, looked at technical analysis, brainstormed solutions, and made tough decisions on priorities. The result is a draft list of major projects addressing needs and opportunities, plus a list of regional initiatives.
The draft list of projects :
- addresses regional goals
- includes multiple modes of transportation (cars, trains, buses, bicycles, etc.)
- is fiscally constrained based on expected federal, state, and local resources
In addition to these projects, the plan will include:
- initiatives (major studies, other strategic actions)
- policies (to guide future action in the region)
- system preservation projects (to reconstruct deficient bridges and road pavements)
- a time line for implementation beginning in fiscal year 2008 (July 2007)
