We want your feedback!
While highways bring opportunities, they have also had serious impacts on nearby communities that may have led to unintended and lasting harms, particularly for communities of color and low-income residents.

Have you, your business, or your community been impacted by highway construction and operation? Share your lived experiences with the regional highway system via our interactive online map: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/collections/51a3d731999e423cb21b82c78449a7bb
