FLORENCE – Pinal County is seeking public comment on its draft transportation improvement and maintenance program. The public comment period ends Wednesday, March 14, 2012. This program is Pinal County’s short-range transportation plan that establishes the schedule and identifies funding for planning, construction, and maintenance projects.

The Transportation Advisory Committee approved the draft plan in February. The committee, appointed by the Board of Supervisors, is a citizen panel who meet annually to review, update, and recommend a program of transportation projects. After the public comment period, the program will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for final approval in March.

This year’s program is posted online and available for public review along with comment by visiting pinalcountyaz.gov (All County Departments, Public Works, Transportation Advisory Committee). You may also use this safe shortcut to access the program: Draft TIMP FY1112-1516. If you would like a copy of the program mailed to you, please write or e-mail your request to: Pinal County Transportation Advisory Committee, Attn: Kathy Borquez, P. O. Box 727, Florence, AZ 85132
E-mail: PCTAC@pinalcountyaz.gov
