<br />MULTI-MODAL SYSTEM PLAN <br /> <br />Utilizing all the information assembled by earlier sections of the Plan, and in consideration of <br />public input and technical analysis, a system plan built upon each jurisdiction's individual needs <br />was prepared. This intermodal plan was carefully reviewed by the TTC, after two separate <br />public review opportunities were presented. The TTC examined the plan from an <br />interjurisdictional aspect to assure it provided a seamless, unified transportation system. The <br />system plan documents short and long-range multi-modal projects for the future programming <br />into Metro COG's Transportation Improvement Plan, and each States' Transportation <br />Improvement Plan. Chapter 9 of the Plan presents the Metropolitan Transportation Plan projects. <br /> <br />FUTURE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT AND FOLLOW UP PLANNING ACTIVITIES <br /> <br />Chapter 10 of the Plan documents how the proposed short and long range program of projects <br />addresses certain critical system issues, such as future congestion, high crash locations, future <br />functional classifications of roadways, freight movement, preservation, operation needs and <br />metropolitan growth. Chapter 10 also demonstrates how the MTP addresses all federal and local <br />planning objectives. Further, a list is provided of major metropolitan planning studies that <br />should be undertaken in the next five years to address important emerging issues. Finally, <br />specific plan-monitoring activities are presented to assist in future Plan updates and <br />TIP programming. <br /> <br />PARTICIPATION OF THE PUBLIC <br /> <br />A fundamental element associated with the entire MTP process was public involvement. <br />Substantial efforts were made to encourage public participation in all phases of the Plan's <br />development. Chapter II of the Plan describes these efforts and their impact on the Plan's <br />recommendations. Further, Appendix A of the Plan documents participation levels and <br />responses to public comments concerning the draft final Plan. <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br /> <br />The process briefly described above was used to develop the 2004-2030 Metropolitan <br />Transportation Plan. The chapters provide greater detail and include the recommendations that <br />resulted from the MTPs transportation planning process. <br /> <br />Executive Summary - Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan Update <br />Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments <br /> <br />June 2004 <br />Page 5 <br />
