Regional Transit Engagement Series
Following the conclusion of the CONNECT Our Future project, CCOG partnered with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to lead a two-year community engagement process called the Regional Transit Engagement Series (RTES).
From 2017 to 2019, the RTES process included engagement events and workshops that involved a wide variety of public stakeholders, including municipal and county elected officials and managers and county transit agency staff, economic development professionals, representatives from major healthcare and academic institutions, major employers, and land use and transportation planners. From this engagement series, CCOG learned more about local transit related needs, barriers, and opportunities, how local communities could benefit from additional coordination, and what elements from a regional transit plan would be most beneficial to their community.
