Regional Transportation Planning

The Green River Area Development District (GRADD) partners with the Kentucky Transportation Planning to facilitate and coordinate regional transportation planning for the non-metropolitan counties of Hancock, McLean, Ohio, Union, and Webster.  Daviess and Henderson County’s transportation planning is coordinated by the Owensboro - Daviess County Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Evansville Metropolitan Planning Organization respectively.

The GRADD Regional Transportation Committee was created by the GRADD Board of Directors to provide a forum for elected officials and the public to work together in solving regional transportation problems; act as an advocacy body on transportation issues; act as a data and information base; provide for a means to locally and regionally prioritize transportation projects; and provide input for the Statewide Transportation Plan.  The committee meets bi-monthly on the third Tuesday at the GRADD office at 10:00 a.m.
