~ The Bonneville Metropolitan Planning Organization (BMPO) is seeking input from the community to shape the future of local transportation. As a federally mandated and funded transportation policy-making organization in Bonneville County, the BMPO is responsible for planning and coordinating transportation efforts in the greater Idaho Falls region, including the cities of Idaho Falls, Ammon, Iona, and Ucon.
According to DaNiel Jose, transportation planner for the BMPO, public feedback is crucial in developing a long-term transportation strategy. The organization has launched a survey and an interactive community input map on their website to gather input from residents. The map allows individuals to comment on how current transportation conditions affect their daily lives and ability to access essential places such as work, school, stores, and parks. The survey and mapping activity will be open until September 30th at 11:59 p.m.

The feedback collected will be incorporated into the Long-Range Transportation Plan, which will guide the region's transportation system for the next 25 years. This plan aims to address critical safety improvements, reduce traffic congestion, and create a more connected regional network.
The BMPO's policy board consists of elected officials or representatives from the cities, county, and Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). They are responsible for making decisions regarding regional transportation planning.
Metropolitan planning organizations were established in 1962 with the goal of promoting regional cooperation in transportation planning. This includes not only public roads and streets but also pedestrian pathways, bike paths, buses, trains, and other modes of transport.
The BMPO encourages all community members to participate in this opportunity to have a direct say in how future investments are prioritized. Whether individuals drive, bike, walk or use public transit regularly or occasionally, their experiences are valuable in shaping the region's transportation goals.
Residents can access the survey and interactive map on the BMPO's website. The organization looks forward to receiving input from the community and using it to create a more efficient, safe, and connected transportation system for the region.
