ICTC WILL SHOWCASE “NEW PROJECTS TO GET AROUND THE VALLEY”
A PREVIEW OF LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS
The public is invited to a July 13 virtual community meeting and July 20 Informal Drop-in Sessions in Brawley, Calexico, and El Centro
El Centro, CA -The Imperial County Transportation Commission (ICTC) is holding a virtual meeting and a series of drop-in sessions at locations throughout the Valley to present Draft Recommendations for the Long-Range Transportation Plan. In these brief, informal sessions, community members can discover proposed improvements to the county-wide network of roadways/highways, bridges, transit/buses, and active transportation networks. Community members will be asked whether they feel Draft Recommendations can help achieve important goals such as:
• provide more transportation options for all – including for those who walk, bicycle, and take transit;
• support a vibrant, growing economy, and more!
“Throughout the past 16 months as we’ve been updating the Regional Long Range Transportation Plan, we’ve gone out to the community,” said Virginia Mendoza, ICTC Project Manager. “We’ve shared information, but more importantly, we listened and learned from community members about their needs, priorities, and values. This input has informed every project decision. As we reach the end of the study, we invite the community to view the recommendations. Tell us what you think, please!”
All informational sessions will feature the same content. Community members may attend the meeting that best meets their schedule. Families are welcome; children’s activities will be provided. Spanish translation and interpretation will also be provided.

About the Imperial County Regional LRTP
Imperial County Transportation Commission is preparing a LRTP that will provide a detailed roadmap for the planning, design, construction, operations, and maintenance of the regional transportation system for the next 20 years.
