To prepare
the first regional long-range transportation plan for the Treasure
Valley, the Community Planning Association (COMPASS), in cooperation
with member agencies, will engage the public to ensure meaningful
input into transportation decision-making. The regional plan is a
dynamic process, and thus the approach to the community will be modified
in response to emerging issues and data. The broad goals,
however, will support our commitment to:
- Represent the broad community
and their needs
- Reach an underserved population
- Offer a range of educational
opportunities
- Provide public input to planners
and decision-makers in a timely manner
