GVMC Citizen Transportation Survey

Page One

The Grand Valley Metropolitan Council (GVMC) is developing a Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP through the year 2040. The MTP is updated every four years and represents the 25-year vision for the transportation system in Kent and Eastern Ottawa Counties. All modes of transportation are examined, including the road network, public transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, rail, and air. The 2040 MTP is anticipated to be approved by GVMC in late 2014. For more information about GVMC and the 2040 MTP please click here

This survey has been developed to engage you in a discussion about transportation-related improvements for Kent and Eastern Ottawa Counties. The survey will take about ten minutes to complete. If you need assistance, please call us at (616) 776-7610 or email Jim Snell, GVMC Transportation Planner, at snellj@gvmc.org.

Let us know your opinions about the future of transportation for the region!
