The Twin Cities Area Transportation Study (TwinCATS) is holding an open house to provide information and solicit comments on “Principles in Motion,” the new Long Range Transportation Plan (LRP) for the Benton Harbor–St. Joseph area. TwinCATS, comprised of local and state officials, sets regional transportation goals, and determines how to allocate federal transportation funds. The LRP acts as a blueprint for transportation investments over the next 25 years.

During the open house, TwinCATS staff will have a brief presentation about the LRP, followed by opportunities to ask questions and provide comments. Topics for discussion include how to maintain and improve the transportation system for everyone including transit riders, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and freight haulers.

The draft LRP is available here www.swmpc.org/twincats2045.asp.

Copies of the draft plan will also be available at the open house for attendees to comment on.

The public may also provide comments on the LRP in the following ways:
