Comments and Questions

 

Public comment requested on the DRAFT regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and Canyon Counties – Communities in Motion 2050.
September 16 – October 16, 2022
COMPASS is seeking your feedback on the draft update to the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and Canyon Counties – Communities in Motion 2050.

For Your Review:

Communities in Motion 2050 is a primarily web-based plan, allowing you to access the materials in two levels of detail:

  • Website
    • Contains the substance of the plan
    • Each web page provides information on an individual topic

While COMPASS appreciates your feedback on any part of the plan, we ask that you pay particular attention to the Communities in Motion 2050 goals, transportation priorities, and implementation policies.

We are also accepting comments on the draft Air Quality Conformity Demonstration for the draft Communities in Motion 2050 plan. This demonstration is required in areas, such as Northern Ada County, where air quality did not meet federal standards in the past and estimates the air quality impacts associated with projects funded through Communities in Motion 2050. The estimated impacts demonstrate that the projects contained in Communities in Motion 2050 meet air quality conformity requirements for Northern Ada County. Learn more.
