The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) wants to hear what you think should top the region's transportation priority list. The agency is asking people to fill out an eight question survey on short and long term transportation needs.
Strategic Planning Manager Robyn Bancroft says, "We want to hear from everyone throughout the region on what they perceive as their transportation needs." She calls this a planning process. The results will be used as OKI crafts its 2040 plan outlining projects and programs to be implemented over the next 25 years.
Bancroft calls it a multi-modal plan. "It's not just car driving, but also bike and (pedestrian) facilities, transit, freight - so we look at both truck activities on the roadways but also rail and barge activity along the Ohio River. So, really anything and everything to do with surface transportation improvements that are needed in our region."
Bancroft says OKI already has a lot of data on congestion and crashes, but officials also want to hear directly from the public on what challenges they face.
The survey is open through January 8, 2016.
