The Erie Metropolitan Planning Organization invites residents throughout Erie County to participate in a five-minute online survey to provide input on local and regional issues related to roads, trails, transit, and rail service. Participants will also be able to map locations of concern. A survey and mapping tool can be accessed until May 27 at https://eriecountypa.gov/departments/planning-and-community-development/programs/metropolitan-planning-organization/long-range-transportation-plan/.
Residents can also use this QR code to access the survey and mapping tool:
The Erie County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) guides transportation policy, project prioritization, and decision-making for Erie County over a 27-year timeframe. The LRTP is updated every five years, and the Erie Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is currently overseeing an update to the plan with the help of a consultant, Whitman, Requardt and Associates (WRA).
The MPO members include PennDOT; the Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority (EMTA), Erie Regional Airport Authority (ERAA), and Erie-Western PA Port Authority (EWPPA); the County of Erie; and municipal officials.
This study is sponsored by Erie County Department of Planning and Community Development with funding from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and County of Erie.
Residents with questions about transportation planning or who would like to request a paper copy of the survey and map may contact Emily Aloiz, transportation planner at the Erie County Department of Planning and Community Development, at ealoiz@eriecountypa.gov, 814-451-7325, or 150 E.
