The Southern Georgia Regional Commission (SGRC) is seeking public input on possible transportation projects for the Valdosta-Lowndes 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan.   An online polling website has been created to allow the public to vote for projects that they believe are most important to the community. Anyone can vote at the following website: www.valorgis.com/2045transport.  There are three categories of transportation projects listed on the website and the public can vote in each category.  The categories are: Road Improvement Projects, Pedestrian / Bicycle Projects, and Intersection Projects. The online polling website will be open for votes until November 15, 2019.

The projects listed on the polling website are projects that were identified in various studies as well as projects recommended by the public from a survey earlier this year.  The SGRC will host a public open house on Monday, November 4, 2019, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the SGRC offices located at 327 W. Savannah Ave. in Valdosta for an update to the Public Participation Plan.  During this open house, access to the online polling website will be provided. Comments or can be emailed to Amy Martin at [email protected]. For more information about the 2045 Long-Range Transportation Plan update visit our website at www.sgrc.us.

The VLMPO conducts long range and short-range transportation planning in areas including: highways and bridges, public transit, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, freight movement among other areas.
