Mahalo to those who joined us!
Introduction and Topic
Mark Garrity, Executive Director of the Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization (OMPO), presented on the Oahu Regional Transportation Plan (ORTP) 2050 and touched on some other important initiatives the group is working on.
Presentation Highlights
The OMPO established a Project Management Training Program focused on enhancing the skills of State and Local Government workers whom are involved in federally-funded transportation projects. The primary goal of the program is to help increase federal funding to the State by increasing the capacity of staff that can manage the projects. The program is 100% federally funded.
The 2050 ORTP goals and objectives are centered around increased safety, an enhanced transportation system, continued establishment of a reliable and efficient multi-modal transportation system, and reduction in greenhouse gas resulting from transportation, to name a few.
The OMPO also implements strong engagement within the community, including programs online that collect survey data that is used to help the Scenario Development Process, and programs geared toward keiki involvement. You can learn more at the OMPO website here.
