The Long Island Sound Waterborne Transportation Plan Project, more simply known as the Waterborne Plan, is an organization formed for the purpose of exploring potential expansion of transportation facilities around the Long Island Sound area, or, to be more precise, on Long Island Sound. The federally funded project is jointly sponsored by three Metropolitan Planning Organizations: the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council, the Greater Bridgeport Regional Planning Agency, and the Southwestern Regional Planning Agency. The 13-monthlong project will work on developing a plan of waterborne transportation for the 2002-2025 time period. FULL STORY
