 LSL is working with the Grand Rapids metropolitan region’s transit provider, The Rapid, to develop a comprehensive 20-year Transit Master Plan (TMP). Among the outcomes is a long term vision for regional transit service and ways to improve a flexible network of regional public transportation options and mobility solutions. The plan provides a tactical analysis of current and future conditions and the needs of the six member municipalities.
Public involvement is a critical element to ensure the TMP will be embraced by the community and truly become the “People’s Plan,” reflecting the needs of each participating community within the context of a regional vision. A full menu of techniques is being used to reach out to the many stakeholders. This blending of multiple media and meeting formats allows stakeholders to stay informed and provide input within their comfort zone. Aiding the flow of information and comments is a constantly expanding electronic mailing list of over 3,000 stakeholder organizations and project participants. The result is a truly inclusive process.
