Join MVPC as Legislators participate in a round-table discussion on transportation issues in the Merrimack Valley sponsored by the Merrimack Valley TMA and the Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce. No one knows what the transportation network will look like/function when the “new normal” comes about. Teleworking will likely continue at higher levels than what we saw last year, but not at the levels we’re seeing now. Congestion will increase, but by how much? As an MPO, we need to be able to track these behaviors and even to predict them. This Roundtable should help us to do that.
MVMPO Member Virtual Meetings are scheduled for the 4th Wednesday of the month. For questions, please contact the MVMPO Title VI Coordinator, Anthony Komornick at 978-374-0519 or email: [email protected].
