Public Involvement in Transportation Planning

Public meetings are frequently held around the state on transportation planning issues. If one is scheduled in your community, it will normally be announced on the On-line Public Notice site. To get the dates and schedules for the next meeting. Most of these meetings deal with specific plans or projects directly affecting the community and are scheduled by the responsible project manager within DOT&PF.

If you have questions or concerns regarding transportation issues in your community, please contact your local city or borough government's planning and/or community development staff and let them know. They are typically the first point of contact for DOT&PF meetings or workshops in their respective communities.
