The consultant firm Wilbur Smith Associates has been awarded the contract to assist the Augusta-Richmond County Planning Commission, the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Augusta Regional Transportation Study (ARTS) area, update its existing 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan.

The goal of the ARTS 2035 LRTP update is to ensure that current and future multimodal transportation community needs, and cost effective solutions, are identified. Potential solutions to community transportation needs must meet federal planning and air quality requirements, as well as be financially constrained. An initial kickoff meeting with local stakeholders was held on October 15, 2009 at the Julian Smith BBQ Pit. In addition to stakeholder meetings, public participation meetings will be held throughout the year. Special outreach will be undertaken to elicit comments from Environmental Justice communities, which includes minorities and persons in low income brackets.

The 2035 LRTP is scheduled to be completed and approved by September of 2010. [Click here...]
