Secretary of Transportation Sean T. Connaughton and the Commonwealth Transportation Board are holding meetings across Virginia so the public may discuss projects and programs in the CTB’s current Six-Year Improvement Program and provide comments for the development of the Fiscal Years 2014-2019 SYIP, including multimodal initiatives for highways, rail and transit.
The meeting for the Staunton Transportation District will be held on Monday, Nov. 5, at the Augusta County Government Center, 18 Government Center Lane, Verona, VA 24482. The meeting will include an open house session from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. followed by the public meeting at 6:30 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend and provide comments.
During the open house, representatives from various state transportation agencies, Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Planning District Commissions will be available to provide information and highlight their transportation programs. Displays and handouts will be available at the meeting.
After the meetings, comments can be submitted through email or regular mail to Public Information Officer, DRPT, 600 E.
