Maine DOT is creating a Long-Range Transportation Plan to determine the future landscape of our transportation system. Two elements of the plan, the Statewide Strategic Transit Plan and the Statewide Active Transportation Plan are important in reducing climate-polluting emissions and providing safe transportation options. There is also a public meeting on June 7th if you would like to attend (use button below to take surveys and/or preregister for June 7th forum).
