Public Comments Sought for Transit Plan
WHEELING – Regional transportation planning agency Belomar is currently accepting public comments for the draft of the 2026-2030 Belmont County Coordinated Transit Plan for Human Services.
“The plan, once adopted post public comment represents the first iteration of the 2026-2030 plan,” according to the agency’s website.
This plan is prepared in accordance with federal requirements for coordinated public transit–human services transportation planning under 49 U.S.C. § 5310, which requires that projects receiving funding through the Federal Transit Administration’s Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program be derived from a locally developed, coordinated plan.
These requirements continue under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which reauthorized federal transit programs through Fiscal Year 2026.
The plan will be available for public comments through April 10. Once this period is over, Belomar will host a public meeting on the plan.
