Leave a comment on the future of our region

The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) is currently updating its long range plan to meet the needs of the region to the year 2040. The Southwestern PA Plan is the regional long range transportation and development plan for Southwestern Pennsylvania, and is the mechanism for connecting the Regional Vision to the region’s official, coordinated implementation program of projects and actions.

SPC is seeking comments from the public on important draft documents prior to their adoption:

-Mapping the Future: The Southwestern PA Plan
-Environmental Justice Benefits and Burdens Assessment for The Southwestern PA Plan
-Air Quality Conformity Determination for the Pittsburgh Transportation Management Area
-Southwestern Pennsylvania Public Transit Human Services Coordinated Transportation Plan Update

Starting Wednesday, May 13, 2015, and concluding on Friday, June 12th at 4:00pm, the Plan and its Companion Documents will be available for public review online, at offices of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, at the Pittsburgh Department of City Planning, at County Planning offices, and at many public libraries around Southwestern Pennsylvania.
