Why Should You Get Involved with COMTO Columbus?
Transportation impacts everyone in their respective community; from roads to mass transit systems; from airports to pedestrian and bike pathways. The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) recently released its Insight2050 report which conservatively estimate that the region’s growth over the next 30+ years will result in more than 300,000 new residences and more than 300,000 new jobs. This community’s transportation infrastructure has to be improved and expanded to support this growth and COMTO Columbus must be positioned to ensure maximum participation and inclusion by minority individuals and businesses.
