Regional Transportation Planning Update April 12

SALISBURY, MD---The Project Management Group at Salisbury State University presents an update on "Regional Transportation Planning" on Wednesday, April 12, in the Worcester Room of SSU's Commons. The program from 9-11 a.m. begins with registration and a continental breakfast at 8:30 a.m.

Regional transportation challenges, goals and concerns for the Lower Shore three counties were established at a meeting of transportation providers, users, employers, elected officials and state and local administrators during the summer of 1999.

Since that time a 30-member steering committee, comprised of representatives from each of the three Lower Shore counties, has coordinated a team of SSU researchers in collecting data about transportation needs and resources. The goal of the committee and SSU researchers was to prepare and recommend a master plan for regional transportation needs.

The program presents the findings and recommendations for the next step in the regional transportation project, as well as, remarks from elected officials, representatives from state and federal agencies and guests from other transportation systems.

The public is invited to attended but reservations are required. To reserve seating at the presentation contact the Project Management Group at SSU at 410-548-5353 or for more information on the regional transportation effort visit the Project Management Group Web site at http://www.lowershore.org/trans.
