From Staff Reports

The Maine Department of Transportation is looking to Talk Transportation and is seeking public input regarding transportation issues. To that end, the department will hold a series of public meetings throughout the state this month as well as March and April.

Input from the public and other stakeholders will be considered by the department as it formulates its Long-Range Transportation Needs Assessment. The assessment documents anticipated transportation system needs for the future 20 years, with particular emphasis on the next 10 years.

The meetings will also provide a forum for the department to discuss its activities and programs.

The meetings are being held by MDOT’s Outreach Office. The Outreach Office was recently created as a new approach to better serve our customers throughout the state.

Two meetings at each of more than 20 locations statewide are being held. The meetings will include a brief presentation about MaineDOT and the services it provides, interactive audience participation survey questions, and an open discussion and question and answer period.
