Public Transportation Group to Hold Open Meeting

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KLIX) – Think of it as a Christmas party.

On Dec. 19, the Idaho Transportation Department will hold a meeting about transportation in the state, and you’re invited to either attend the meeting or join the discussion on the conference call. The meeting is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon at ITD Headquarters, 3311 W State St. in Boise.

The public meeting, overseen by ITD’s Interagency Working Group, will focus on two main topics: 1) the statewide public transportation plan; and 2) transporting those with mental-health disabilities.

“The Statewide Public Transportation Plan outlines the funding available to public transportation outlets throughout the state,” according to ITD. “The mental-health agenda item reflects a new effort from the IWG to address the transportation needs of citizens with mental health disabilities and how best to serve this gap population.

The group also will “submit an annual report on transportation programs and data from each represented agency.” Those who will be unable to attend the meeting in person may call in using the information below:
