Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of transportation planning like never before! We are excited to introduce the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Metaverse, an innovative virtual platform designed for the public to explore, engage with, and influence the LRTP for our region. This virtual environment offers a new way for community members to connect with transportation planners and help shape the future of our region's transportation system.
Upon entering the LRTP metaverse, visitors will find themselves in a virtual world where they can explore and interact with various components of the region’s long-range transportation plan. Current key input opportunities include:
- Reviewing the Draft Vision and Goals: Take a closer look at the region's transportation vision and goals for the 2050 LRTP and provide your feedback to help meet the needs of our growing community.
- Reviewing Draft Future Scenario Narratives: Step into the shoes of a transportation planner and explore the different scenarios that could shape the region's transportation landscape. Share your thoughts on the narratives and help us create a transportation system that is efficient, sustainable, and equitable.
- Submitting Transportation Improvement Suggestions: Have a brilliant idea for improving traffic, enhancing public transportation, or a new regional trail? Share your suggestions with us through our virtual suggestion box, and our team will review and consider them as we move forward with the plan.
The LRTP Metaverse is designed to evolve with the planning process, reflecting new information and interactive experiences as they become available. This ensures that the platform remains a relevant and engaging space for community input and collaboration.
By leveraging the metaverse, we're opening new pathways for transparency, engagement, and collaboration in transportation planning. This virtual portal allows community members to participate in the planning process at their convenience, ensuring that everyone has a chance to contribute to the future of our region's transportation.
Discover the LRTP Metaverse today and join us in mapping the future of transportation in our region.
