The Mississippi Department of Transportation and the Gulf Coast Metropolitan Planning Organizations are holding joint, open-house public meetings to hear the public's thoughts about Mississippi's draft long-range transportation plans for the next 25 years.

In South Mississippi, Statewide Plan and Gulf Coast MPO Plan can be reviewed at these meetings:
