This prioritization of proposed projects and other transit needs will involve, among other considerations, the development of a financial plan that identifies for each capital need the non-Federal funds to be used along with the proposed Federal funding. The date and location of public scoping meetings are provided below. Written comments may also be turned in at the scoping meetings. Informational displays and written material will also be available. Comments may be submitted in writing at the public scoping meetings.
All locations are accessible to persons with disabilities.
Spanish-speaking MTA staff will be present. Additional alternatives that may emerge from the scoping process will be considered. The public is invited to comment specifically on the alternatives to be addressed, the transit modes and technologies to be evaluated, the alignments and termination points to be considered, the environmental, social, and economic impacts to be analyzed, and the evaluation approach to be used to select a preferred alternative. Scoping is not the appropriate time to indicate a preference for a particular alternative. An information packet describing the purpose of the project, the location, the proposed alternatives, and the impact areas to be evaluated is being mailed to affected Federal, State, and local agencies.
