Questions for ACTs

As the OTC works to find the right balance between Fix-It and Enhance, describe the relative system wide needs in your area of the state.

Many of the likely scenarios for this STIP update could have less Enhance funds than the $72M/yr in the last update. If funding for Enhance is less, should the selection process be modified to account for the small amount of funding?

A key role of the ACT is communicating transportation needs and issues in your local community. Share some of the ways your ACT has been successful in communicating the overall needs in transportation.
