Proposed Changes to Communities in Motion 2050

Communities in Motion 2050 is the regional long-range transportation plan for Ada and Canyon Counties. The plan lists transportation projects that have identified funding in the short-term and the long-term, out to the year 2050. The plan also includes prioritized unfunded needs.

The proposed amendment would update the list of projects funded in Communities in Motion 2050 by adding four new short-term funded projects.

These changes reflect updates to the Idaho Transportation Department’s and local agencies’ plans and budgets.

The proposed amendment details can be found here.
