City of Rogue River Open House to Review Regional Transportation Plan

The Middle Rogue Metropolitan Planning Organization (MRMPO) invites Rogue River area residents to an Open House on January 28, 2015, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Rogue River City Council Chambers. The purpose of the open house is to provide an opportunity to review and comment on the first draft of the Middle Rogue Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). This plan affects the area within the MRMPO boundary, including Grants Pass, Rogue River, and Gold Hill, and is expected to be adopted in March 2016.
Regional transportation systems have significant and long-term impacts on economic well-being and quality of life. Not only does the transportation system provide for the mobility of people and goods, it also influences patterns of growth and economic activity through accessibility to land. Furthermore, the performance of the transportation system affects public policy concerns such as air quality, environmental resource consumption, social equity, economic development, safety and security.
The RTP is a multi-modal transportation plan designed to meet the anticipated 25-year transportation needs within the Middle Rogue Metropolitan Planning Organization (MRMPO) planning area boundary. It will include a list of short-, mid-, and long-term transportation projects to be completed by 2040 as funding becomes available. Projects must be on the list to qualify for federal transportation funding.
We look forward to seeing you at the Open House.
