The Northeast Area Commission on Transportation (NEACT) has scheduled a meeting for January 8, from 9 a.m. to noon. The gathering aims to connect community leaders and other stakeholders across five counties and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation to discuss transportation matters of importance. It's a routine opportunity for the public to weigh in on the issues that steer the roads, transit systems, and travel routes that connect them to work, school, and play, according to an announcement on the Oregon Department of Transportation's website.
Open to the public, the proceedings will be hosted at the ODOT Region 5 office in La Grande, located at 3012 Island Ave. While in-person attendance is expected by the community leaders, those who prefer to join virtually will find their place at the table through a Microsoft Teams link, found within the meeting's agenda. The agenda, being replete with updates on a slew of transportation projects ranging from the state, county, and city levels, can be accessed online. However, if you're hoping to join virtually, make sure to fetch the link before the meeting.
The Northeast Area Commission on Transportation (NEACT) serves as an advisory body for Morrow, Umatilla, Wallowa, Union, and Baker counties, providing input on regional transportation issues. The upcoming meeting will include time for public comment, with requests to be placed on the agenda due at least 48 hours in advance to Vicki Moles. Officials said the meeting location is accessible for individuals with disabilities, and accommodations or alternative materials can be requested through ODOT.
