Rural survey seeks public input

The McLean County Regional Planning Commission (MCRPC) is seeking public input for a regional Human Services Transportation Plan (HSTP), specific to the rural areas of the counties of Ford, Iroquois, Kankakee, Livingston and McLean (Region 6).

Completed surveys will be accepted until Friday, March 1st, 2024. The survey is available online on MCRPC’s website at www.mcplan.org or by contacting Francesca Lewis at flewis@mcplan.org or at (309) 434-6835. Surveys are available in English and Spanish. When completed, the Plan will specially address the needs of disadvantaged populations and citizens by providing more efficient use of transportation services and resources.

This HSTP is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, and will be an update to the previous plan adopted in 2015. We encourage all residents of rural areas in those five counties to take the survey and help us spread the word. Contact Jennifer Sicks, Senior Transportation Planner at MCRPC at (309) 828-4331 or JSicks@mcplan.org with questions or for additional information.
