AUGUSTA - The Maine Department of Transportation has begun a feasibility study that will evaluate opportunities for new and expanded public transit services and active transportation facilities if the Maine Turnpike Authority Gorham Connector is constructed. Led and funded by MaineDOT as a distinct study, this effort will assess opportunities for connections that would otherwise be infeasible, while leveraging travel time savings, changing travel patterns, and land available for transportation purposes. This study will ultimately provide the public and local and state officials with a better understanding of the opportunities and costs for enhanced public transit and active transportation facilities associated with this potential new transportation corridor.

More information on the study, including but not limited to scope of work and proposed schedule, and a public comment form are available here: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/bc07b15d3c514b93920d50ef49d0b82c.">https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/bc07b15d3c514b93920d50ef49d0b82c">https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/bc07b15d3c514b93920d50ef49d0b82c.
