The future of Wisconsin's transportation system - both what to build and how to pay for it - will be up for discussion at a public listening session on Thursday in Madison.
The Transportation Finance and Policy Commission has called for four listening sessions around the state, with the first one held at Sequoya Branch Library, 4340 Tokay Blvd. in Madison, beginning at 5 p.m. Three more listening sessions are set for March 22 in Milwaukee, April 26 in Appleton and May 31 in Eau Claire. "We hope interested citizens will use the listening session to provide the commission with input on Wisconsin's transportation future, especially as it pertains to prioritizing and funding our long-range needs," said Department of Transportation Secretary Mark Gottlieb in a news release announcing the listening sessions. Gottlieb serves as the commission chairman. The commission was formed in the 2011-13 biennial state budget, to look at the issue of financing Wisconsin's future transportation needs. A report by the commission is to be given to the governor and legislature by March 1, 2013. Those unable to attend the Thursday listening session can send comments about the state's transportation needs to the commission by email to [email protected]. Mike Rewey
