2035 Transportation Plan Development Underway
The Kalamazoo Area Transportation Study is working to complete the 2035 Transportation Plan by December, 2010. Work is currently being completed on the transportation model and determining capacity issues over the life of the transportation plan. Meetings are being held with the local road and transit agencies to determine future projects to identify in the Transportation Plan.
KATS recently conducted an online survey asking what participants wanted to see for the future of the transportation system. Click here to view survey results. Comments on the survey can be submitted to KATS.
