Forward 45: SORTPO seeks community input on transportation, road safety
The Southwest Regional Transportation Planning Organization (SORTPO) is seeking public input as it develops a 20-year regional transportation plan (RTP). SORTPO is a partnership of local government organizations and serves 16 counties, including Grady County.
The primary purpose of the Forward 45 RTP is to provide a clear framework for the future of transportation in Southwest Oklahoma. It serves as a vital resource for public officials, local communities, and state and federal agencies, offering insights and data that support transportation planning and future needs. The plan will outline the region’s transportation goals, strategies, and priorities, ensuring that they align with broader state and federal transportation objectives.
By filling out the survey linked below, residents can ensure that their immediate concerns in transportation are heard and addressed. This includes road safety, access to transportation, walkability, economy, and more. The data collected will inform the final RTP released in 2025.
Additionally, residents can report individual, specific road safety concerns by contributing to the Regional Safety Assessment. In addition to being used toward the Forward 45 RTP, reports from this assessment are published to a publicly viewable map to quickly raise awareness within local governments.
This post is on behalf of a partner organization. The Chickasha EDC is not affiliated with the Forward 45 project and does not receive any data collected from the surveys.
