The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MC-DOT) has two assistance programs pertaining to drainage issues associated with surface runoff from roads and other property owned and maintained by Montgomery County. One is for maintenance of existing storm drain systems and the other is for addressing communities’ requests for drainage improvements.
Transportation needs are changing. Some of those needs are met through mass transit or alternative transportation methods, while others require the improvement of our highway system through the construction of new roads or the upgrading of existing roads.
These improvements are planned to fit into the County's overall transportation plan. Public hearings and meetings are held to gather information and input from local residents and the community. The impacts on the community and the environment are fully considered before a final location and design are selected.Every effort is made to minimize any negative impacts on local residents, business and the environment.
