The purpose is to learn potential opportunities to improve quality of service and safety. These improvements will address the transportation requirements for the movement of people and goods in a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly way for the next 25 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phase 1 of this engagement is seeking your ideas for potential highway improvements. We want input from local communities, businesses, highway users, and the general public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the study, please visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/gov.bc.ca\/hwy37corridorstudy\">project webpage<\/a> or email <a href=\"mailto:hwy37corridorstudy@gov.bc.ca\">hwy37corridorstudy@gov.bc.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contribution\">How your contribution makes a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your input will be used in the development of a clear description of the problem and early concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related engagements<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"related-engagements\">\n                                    <div class=\"govtogether-engagement-card\" aria-label=\"Engagement title: Kamloops Area Transportation Study.
