The MACOG 2035 Transportation Plan
The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) was passed by the United States Congress in 2005. The legislation provides funding for public transit and highway construction activities nationwide. In order for urban areas to receive the benefits of federal aid for both roads and transit, they are required to have plans in place, which are comprehensive and coordinated through cooperation among jurisdictions.
The most extensive of these plans is the 20-year "Transportation Plan" (TP). In MACOG's case, it is the 2035 TP. The TP outlines the region's focus on planning for surface-transportation improvement projects in St. Joseph and Elkhart Counties through the year 2035. Projects include highway, transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, freight facilities, and illustrative listings for projects in Kosciusko and Marshall Counties.
A PDF Document describing the development of the 2035 TP can be downloaded here. There is also an Interagency Consultation Group Conformity Guidance outlining the steps and actions that need to be taken by MACOG, INDOT, IDEM, FHWA, and other MACOG partners to ensure that the long range plan does not further harm the regions air quality.
