The Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency (KIPDA) is seeking public input on a proposed Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan.
The plan serves as a unified, comprehensive strategy for transportation service delivery, identifying and meeting the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and individuals with limited incomes. It was developed in response to needs voiced by these counties in addition to new requirements for planning for special needs transportation in the 2005 Federal Transportation Act: the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU).
A copy of the plan is available for public review from September 18 through October 17, 2009 at libraries and judge executive offices in Bullitt, Henry, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer and Trimble counties. The review information will also be available on the KIPDA website - http://www.kipda.org/Transportation/Drafts.aspx.
Comments can be emailed to KIPDA at kipda.trans@ky.gov, by mail to Coordinated Plan, C/O Josh Suiter, KIPDA, 11520 Commonwealth Drive, Louisville, KY 40299 or by calling Suiter at (502) 266-6084. All comments must be received by October 17.

Bullitt County: Monday, October 8, 5-7 p.m. at the Shepherdsville Government Center, 643 Conestoga Parkway.
