Comment online on the First and Last Mile open house

The public is invited to comment on the First and Last Mile project in an online open house through 5 p.m. Nov. 1, hosted by Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation.

The project aims to improve access to public transportation throughout Washington County, by identifying strategies to make transit a safe, accessible and viable travel option for everyone. The FLM project identified:

• Priority locations for programs and strategies including:
  • Bicycle and pedestrian improvements
  • On-demand transportation including shuttles, ridesharing, carsharing and bike-sharing

• Obstacles to increased transit use including:
  • Unconnected sidewalks
  • Substandard bike facilities
  • Infrequent pedestrian crossing signals
  • Lack of streetlights
  • Lack of transit near major employers
