Public Involvement

What is Public Involvement?  Public involvement is the process of involving the public in the early stages of the transportation planning process through completion.  Public involvement is a critical component in the transportation planning process. Through meaningful consideration and input from interested citizens, needs from all modes of the public transportation system become a shared mission with technical planning staff and policy makers. For the transportation community, involving the public in planning and project development poses a major challenge. The Montgomery MPO’s transportation public involvement goals, policies, and procedures are described in the Public Involvement Plan or P.I.P.

• Raise the level of understanding of the transportation planning process in the MPO transportation study area and identify how interested citizens can become involved.
• Provide the public with opportunities for involvement in the transportation planning process.
• Identify and involve traditionally underserved communities (those communities with high concentrations of minority, low-income, or elderly populations) in the transportation planning process.
• The Montgomery MPO’s public involvement goals, policies, and procedures are described in the Public Involvement Plan or P.I.P
