The federal transportation bill known as SAFETEA-LU (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users), passed in 2005, requires the preparation of coordination plans for entities that will access FTA (Federal Transit Authority) funds. SAFETEA-LU states that projects funded from the following three programs must be derived from a locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan. The stated goal is to maximize the three programs’ coverage by minimizing the duplication of similar, overlapping services. SAFETEA-LU also stipulates that the plan be developed through a process that includes representation of public, private and non-profit transportation and human services providers, and participation by the public.
The Tomahawk Regional Chamber of Commerce initiated this study. The Chamber requested the study for a variety of reasons, including community efforts to establish a Main St. program in the downtown area, examine future road improvements along N. 4th St. that will impact businesses, and a general shift in the community’s retail market. The study is funded in part by a grant from the WI Department of Commerce’s Community Development Block Grant program, with additional funding acquired by the Chamber from various businesses. A steering committee was created by the Chamber to provide oversight during the planning process and to ensure that community input was a core part of the planning process.
