The webinars are in addition to the 16 informational and feedback
sessions hosted in person by IDOT earlier this year in communities
throughout the state.
"We value feedback from the public and encourage anyone who
missed our informational and feedback sessions to sign up for this
webinar," Schneider said. "With the help of the public, we can
ensure that their transportation needs are addressed and that our
programming system continues to serve them in the best way
possible."
Also called the Multi-Year Program, or MYP, this planning and
programming guide for transportation is based on current estimates
of local, federal and state funding, including funding from Gov. Pat
Quinn's Illinois Jobs Now! capital program, enacted in 2009. The
program for fiscal 2014-2019 totals about $9.5 billion for the state
road and bridge systems alone and focuses on maintenance and
improvement of the road system and any interconnected modal systems
such as transit, rail or bike facilities, as appropriate.
