Louisiana Statewide Transportation Plan Update - Round Two Advisory Council Meetings
Purpose
The purpose of the second round of Advisory Council meetings was to brief the Advisory Councils on the status of the Plan update and to allow each Council to review their issues regarding their mode and discuss new ones. Attendees spent most of the meeting time discussing previous policy recommendations; adding new policy recommendations; and ranking them by high, medium or low.
Agenda
The meetings were held over the course of two days (October 1-2, 2013) at the Marriott Hotel in Baton Rouge, LA. There was an opening session where all members heard the briefing about the Plan, and then the individual Advisory Councils met.
