IDOT Announces public meetings to help plan future
transportation programs
Input wanted for development of upcoming multi-year program

[September 04, 2014]  SPRINGFIELD - Illinois Acting Transportation Secretary Erica J. Borggren today announced that the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will seek input into the development of its upcoming Multi-Year Program (MYP) for fiscal years 2016-2021. Public meetings will be held in communities throughout the state.

The MYP, a multimodal planned program for statewide transportation investment, is based on current estimates of local, state and federal funding, including funding from Governor Pat Quinn’s Illinois Jobs Now! capital program, enacted in 2009. The MYP for the current FY 2015-2020 totals approximately $14.3 billion.

IDOT staff will be present to answer any questions related to the MYP, as well as other IDOT planning and project development processes. The public will have an opportunity to comment in writing on the development of the proposed MYP, existing programming procedures and other information.

Written comments will be accepted at the public meetings, IDOT district offices and can also be emailed to [e-mail]  through Friday, November 14th, 2014.

These meetings will be accessible to individuals with special needs. Anyone needing special assistance should contact their IDOT district office at least five days prior to the meeting. For district contact information, visit http://goo.gl/KdKx9Y
