How Do I Get Involved?
Involved communities are
essential to successful transportation planning—and the more
people involved the better the final result. Here are a few steps
to joining the transportation planning process in the region—we
look forward to your participation:
Subscribe to
NYMTC
Notes, an electronic newsletter filled with news of planning
activities, including information and contacts for studies,
events, new reports and a calendar of upcoming meetings.
Join our mailing list to
receive regular updates, information and notices of activities.
Attend a Metropolitan
Planning Forum, Workshop or Conference, where the public and NYMTC
staff discuss regional transportation topics, assuring that all
voices are heard.
Try a Community Visioning
Workshop, where we work together with citizens, businesses and
stakeholders on developing a shared local and regional vision for
transportation.
Join a NYMTC Advisory
Working Group. These groups strengthen the collaboration with the
public on specific related issues such as freight transportation,
pedestrian and bicycle safety, and demand management.
Visit www.NYMTC.org
where you will find a resource on nearly every aspect of the
regional transportation planning process, including major studies
in your community, with links to local web sites, calendars of
meetings and study contacts. The site includes maps, charts and
data online in an easy-to-navigate format, as well as a collective
library of data on transportation issues.
Request a NYMTC Roadshow
at your local organization, on a transportation topic pertinent to
your group.
Join the Regional Planning
Corps, a newly forming organization of community groups and
volunteers working in collaboration with NYMTC to get their
communities interested and involved in transportation planning
activities.
Visit the NYMTC Library at
NYMTC’s new Manhattan headquarters, where you’ll find studies,
diagrams, data, models and more, along with convenient public work
areas for review and study.
At NYMTC, we try hard to
hear every voice and consider every idea.
