Ohio transportation advocacy group to meet Friday

The annual meeting of TransportationMATTERS, a statewide group founded in 2008 to advocate for increased investment in all modes of transportation, will be held this Friday from 9 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. at the offices of the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, 111 Liberty Street in Columbus.

In addition to electing a slate of officers and recommending members for its board, the group will review its 2010 work and outline plans for 2011.

Newly-appointed Ohio Department of Transportation Director Jerry Wray will serve as keynote speaker.

Those planning to attend are encouraged to RSVP to info@transportation-matters.org.

Originally scheduled to be held February 1, the annual meeting was postponed due to inclement weather.
