Public involvement
why is public involvement important?
Public participation is an integral part of the overall transportation planning process. The information and perspectives provided through the public participation process assist decision makers and lead to a more meaningful and comprehensive planning process.
A public review and comment period is provided for all updates and major amendments to the core transportation planning work products for which the MPO is responsible (Connect 2040, TIP, and PPP).

The Public Participation Plan (PPP) serves as a guide to improve the process for involving the public in regional transportation decision making. It is the goal of the MPO to establish a process that is effective at engaging citizens in regional transportation planning activities. This plan outlines the preferred public input procedures, processes and techniques for use in regional transportation planning issues.

Limited English Proficiency
What is limited english proficiency?
A majority of people living in the United States are able to read, write, speak, and understand the English language; however, for some, English is not their primary language. If those persons have a limited ability to read, write, speak or understand English, they are defined as limited English proficient (LEP). Language barriers can inhibit (or prohibit) LEP persons from participating in and/or benefiting from the transportation planning process.
The MPO recognizes the potential barrier language can create and has developed a Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Plan to outline the resources available to provide LEP persons with language assistance services in order to provide meaningful access to the transportation planning process.
