Transportation Policy Plan for Hamilton County Will provide guiding principles for decisions and investment

From the June 2009 issue of Update

The need to go from point A to point B remains unchanged. How to get there has evolved greatly in the last century. An investment in transportation is a major financial commitment, and because of the permanence of the physical infrastructure, very difficult to change once a decision has been made.
Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners passed a resolution early this year creating a Transportation Policy Plan Committee. The Committee, assisted by the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission staff, will craft a proposal aimed at advancing the transportation interests of the County.
A significant investment that Hamilton County and its political subdivisions make is in the design, engineering, and construction of public infrastructure. Policies and principles that unify such an investment are an efficient, collaborative, and non-duplicative use of public funds that will better position the county and its residents to be successful.
A Transportation Policy Plan will state the guiding principles of projects and investments that relate to the transportation of goods, people and data/communication in Hamilton County. It is expected the committee will have a draft by the end of the summer.
The following organizations were invited to participate: municipal and township representatives, Cincinnati, OKI, County Engineer, ODOT, Ohio Valley Development Council, SORTA, Sierra Club, The Arc of Hamilton County, Queen City Bike, University of Cincinnati, Port Authority, and the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce.
