CMPDD is excited to announce the launch of an online transportation survey, offering residents an opportunity to engage in the development of the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO’s) 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
The online survey invites residents to provide valuable input on various topics, including congestion locations, bike and pedestrian pathways, transit needs, safety improvements, and funding prioritization. This early involvement is essential for ensuring the long-range plan reflects the community’s needs and priorities. To access the survey, visit https://metroquestsurvey.com/yy20i to learn more.
Help us plan the region’s future transportation system.
Federal planning regulations require MPO’s to update Metropolitan Transportation Plans, also known as long-range transportation plans, every five (5) years to reflect new planning priorities and account for changes in population or economic growth that may impact travel demand. The comprehensive plan establishes a multimodal vision for the region’s transportation system and guides both capital investments and research studies in the region for the next 25 years. CMPDD’s staff is working to develop the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Jackson Urbanized Area as part of MULTIPLAN 2050, which is a coordinated effort to develop the MS Department of Transportation’s statewide long range transportation plan and regional plans for the MPO at CMPDD, the Hattiesburg-Petal-Forrest-Lamar MPO, and the Gulf Regional Planning Commission MPO.
CMPDD encourages all residents to participate in this survey. Your feedback is invaluable as we work towards creating a regional transportation network that serves everyone efficiently and safely.
Do not wait to share your transportation needs and ideas. The survey ends November 15, 2024.
