We know that community input is key to creating transportation plans and programs that reflect what people need and want. Our Public Participation Plan (PPP) lays out how we connect with residents, stakeholders, and partner organizations to make sure everyone has a chance to be part of the transportation planning process.

All of the MPO's planning projects, along with major amendments to our adopted plans and programs, must follow the guidelines in our PPP.

Public Participation Plan

We use a mix of tools and strategies to regularly inform and engage with the community, and ensure that individuals can participate in planning decisions that affect their daily lives.
