Community invited to public transportation improvement meeting
The Department of Public Works will be holding a public meeting on the Guam Transportation Improvement Plan Sept. 25.
According to a press release, the GTIP provides a "four-year plan that is financially feasible." It also presents the DPW's priorities for the expenditure of its federal aid highway program funding for the fiscal period 2024-2027.
One of the most common challenges people have in getting education beyond the public school system, or getting to and from work, is transportation. However, public transportation has been a challenge for the government as it works to balance the cost of the program while also accommodating the different needs of community members at affordable rates. The government, due to a shortage of buses, has held contracts with private companies that would provide busing services for at least a portion of the island's overall routes.
The meeting to discuss this latest plan that addresses past woes will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 25, at the Sinajana Community Center. The public is invited to review the plan at guamtransportationprogram.com and provide feedback.

During the public meetings on the U.S. military's Revised Draft Environmental Impact Statement, Tinian Mayor Edwin P. Aldan made four key requests to address residents' concerns about planned military activities on the island.
