2021 Federal Certification Review Public Outreach
2021 Federal Certification Review Public Outreach
Every four years our partners at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) conduct an evaluation of the Genesee Transportation Council as part of their Certification Review of this area. The evaluation includes everything our agency works on from transportation planning to public outreach to the financial health of the agency. Public feedback is an essential part of this review. It’s your chance as someone who may live, work, or do business in the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region to provide direct input on the transportation planning process.
You have an opportunity to take a survey that goes directly to the federal highway and transit agencies, send feedback to GTC and attend a virtual public session for stakeholders. Submit comments by March 25.
The primary purpose of the certification review is to ensure that the required planning activities of 23 USC 134 and 49 USC 5303 are being satisfactorily implemented by the GTC. FHWA and FTA are accepting written comments from the public on GTC’s implementation of the federal transportation planning process until March 25th, 2021. The following link to the public commenting form is an opportunity to participate in the certification review process. The form includes questions for you to respond to on your perspective of how the MPO Transportation Planning Process is being implemented in the Region: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/76D2NH5.
If you would like a paper copy of this survey, please call 585-232-6240 or send email to contactgtc@gtcmpo.org
