Multimodal Studies Project Final Reports

The Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) kicked off the Multimodal Studies Project in January 2013. Over the last year the project team sought input from the community through a variety of means. All of that community input has been blended with land use and transportation planning information to develop the three Multimodal Studies Planning Reports: Commuter Park-and-Ride Study, Fixed-Route Transit and Pedestrian Accessibility Study, and Countywide-Bikeway System Plan.  See the attached memo for more information.
