The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department is seeking comments on the state’s Long Range Intermodal Transportation Plan.
The department has worked for 18 months to update the plan to predict and prepare for a variety of future scenarios. The draft plan is now available for review and comment.
System performance will be evaluated annually to measure progress toward meeting LRITP goals and objectives, according to a press release.
The LRITP is a comprehensive document detailing goals, objectives, policies, investment strategies, and performance measures to guide future transportation decisions moving Arkansas forward, according to the release. The plan examines all aspects of the state’s multimodal transportation system, including highways, bridges, public transportation, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, ports, waterways and aviation.
The draft LRITP takes into account comments received throughout the planning process and is now available for review and comment.
The draft LRITP is available online at www.wemovearkansas.com as well as at highway department offices including AHTD District 2 at Pine Bluff and AHTD District 6 at Little Rock.
Comments should be sent by Friday, March 31, to AR_LRITP@ahtd.ar.gov or Transportation Planning and Policy Division Multimodal and Project Planning Section, P.O. Box 2261, Little Rock, AR 72203.
