Call for Projects: Transportation Improvements

                                                                                                      State asking for input on what projects should be put on the list for the future

Transportation improvements for the future are being assembled in a list for the State of North Carolina to consider for the future, and the public is invited to submit ideas. The Jacksonville Metropolitan Planning Organization is assembling a list for consideration of what ideas and projects should be taken to the State for consideration in developing the master State Transportation Improvement Program.

Projects that could improve mobility throughout the Onslow County area are being sought. Projects that improve specific roadway, bicycle, pedestrian or public transit efforts can be emailed to jumpo@jacksonvillenc.gov by July 5, 2023.

The ideas should be submitted soon so staff can compile a list that will be considered by the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Transportation Advisory Committee and the Technical Coordinating Committee. That meeting will result in a priority list for the Onslow County area that will be submitted to the State by September 29.

If you want more information, contact the organization’s administrator Deanna Trebil at 910 938-5073.
