Pima Association of Governments
RSVP Today!
Pima Association of Governments is updating the region’s long-range transportation plan, called the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Looking ahead 30 years, they will identify the most efficient improvements to our transportation system so we can build livable communities for ourselves and future generations.
Public input is an important part of the development of the RTP. In order for our interests as engineers in the community to be heard, I strongly recommend you and others in your firm participate in the process.
In order to make a plan that represents community interests, PAG needs input on values, needs and project ideas from you, the regional stakeholders. PAG will be holding ThinkTank sessions throughout November and December to solicit public opinion. We are holding sessions for engineers on Thursday December 11 at PAG. The two sessions are from 9:00 to 11:00 am and 1:30 to 3:30 pm. If you would like to participate but cannot attend this session, we can place you in a different session.
For those of you who are not familiar with ThinkTank, it is group decision-making software that allows participants to provide immediate and anonymous input using laptop computers. PAG staff will lead the session and each individual will enter their own answers into the program. Participants will join us for a two-hour session where they will be asked to comment on PAG’s transportation vision and goals for the region; evaluate project ideas, and transportation financing alternatives; and provide input on specific project improvements for our region and state. Please click on this link http://www.pagnet.org/documents/Transportation/2040-thinkTankWkBk.pdf to see and or download an electronic version of the workbook used in the sessions. It will give you an idea of what will be asked. If participants need assistance (including typing, reading or translation) during the session, please let us know ahead of time and we will make arrangements.
Again, the ThinkTank sessions are very important to the development of the 2040 RTP. The 2040 RTP is the blueprint for transportation solutions in our region for the next 30 years. Your anonymous input will become part of the official public comment for the RTP. Your ratings and recommendations will be analyzed by the RTP Task Force, and your comments will help form the content of the 2040 RTP.
If you are interested, please RSVP to Joanie Lemaster (jlemaster@psomas.com). If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact Matt Clark, a member of the 2040 RTP Task Force (520- 292-2300 or mclark@psomas.com). Thank you for your time and attention to this important effort.
Please RSVP Immediately!!!
