[CTPP] RE: ctpp-news Digest, Vol 64, Issue 1

Mr. Christopher, I'm following up from my email sent to you last Thursday concerning me not being able to sign on to the webinar. I see on the ctpp-news Digest, Vol 64, Issue 1 that other MPOs are having the same difficulty. Since this webinar defines the core area from which MPOs evolve, can this webinar be rebroadcasted so that all MPOs can be a part of the same questions/answer session? This would be an advantage over viewing a recorded session.

The UA boundaries are extremely important for transportation planning and programming because they begin to define the area and population counts used for many of the Federal funding programs. Simply put, the UA population means money. The UA boundary is also important as it begins to define the core area from which MPOs evolve. The webinar is open to anyone with internet access on a first come first served basis. Pre registration is required. Space is limited. For those unable to attend, the session will be recorded. To attend you must pre-register.

There will be plenty of time for questions and answers. The session is targeted to individuals with transportation planning responsibilities who need to understand the plans and processes under consideration that will be used to define UAs.
