MRMPO Seeks Feedback on Albuquerque Long-Range Transportation Plan

Posted on by

The Mid-Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MRMPO) is kicking off the update to the greater Albuquerque metropolitan area’s long-range transportation plan, the Transitions 2045 MTP and seeks feedback from the public on the plan. The 2045 Transitions MTP will highlight existing transportation conditions, future needs, and identify projects to help meet our regional and federal goals.

Please take this opportunity to comment on transportation in the region. The survey seeks to understand what is important to you when it comes to transportation vision, goals, and specific areas you find challenging along your daily route. There is an online survey the public can take that is fun, interactive, and should take less than five minutes. Please take the survey through Friday, February 16 at: https://metroquestsurvey.com/mwq23. For any questions about the MTP or upcoming meetings, please contact Peach Anderson-Tauzer at: panderson-tauzer@mrcog-nm.gov or 505-843-1728.
