Statement of Interest and Understanding of Purpose for Idaho's Integrated Transportation Vision

ITD

It will serve as our long range-planning document while providing guidance for ITD planning and decision-making and for integration of transportation modes. It is a tool to share the vision with others, generating their support and providing a basis for coordinated decision-making. Consultants will want to consider the role of visioning and scenario planning for diverse groups ranging from the general public to the Idaho Transportation Board, conducting statewide public opinion surveys, focus groups, and collaborative public processes.
