Metropolitan Planning Organization seeks public input
For the Wausau Times
WAUSAU – The Wausau Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), in partnership with Metro Ride, is seeking public input for the five-year transit plan.
The MPO serves the communities of: Kronenwetter, Maine, Mosinee, Rib Mountain, Rothschild, Schofield, Stettin, Wausau, and Weston. The Transit Plan is an important part of developing transportation strategies that support these communities in the Wausau metropolitan area.
Data collected in the survey will help inform the five-year transit plan by evaluating current transit services for efficiency and future opportunities. Additionally, options for service outside the City of Wausau will be explored. Survey outcomes could result in recommendations for changes to Metro Ride.
A draft of the Transit Plan is expected to be available in June at which time there will be opportunity for the public to review the plan and provide additional input. Opportunities for public input will be posted on the Wausau MPO website at www.wausaumpo.org/events.
The public is encouraged to complete a brief survey by March 21. The survey may be completed online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/MetroRide_Survey. Printed copies are also available at the Marathon County Public Library branches in Wausau, Rothschild, and Mosinee.
To complete the survey by phone or to request a printed copy, please contact Nathan at [email protected] or call 937-299-5007.
