Public Participation Plan

Updated April 2012

MPO staff are making the final plan changes to incorporate the public's comments into the Public Participation Plan.  Thank you to everyone who shared their comments with us.

If you cannot attend a public MPO meeting, there are still ways to connect with representatives from your community.  Members of the NATS and TwinCATS Policy Committees are listed in an easily accessible table with meeting information including dates, times, location, member, and member contact information.  Let your community representative know if there are important transportation issues in your community that are important to you!

 Public Participation Plan

The plan is in its final updating phase now that the public comment period has ended.  The plan will be submitted to the NATS and TwinCATS MPO Committees for approval on April 16 and April 24.

This document serves as:

1. A guidebook for interested members of the public;
2. A set of policies to be followed by staff and committee members for involving the public in transportation planning; and
3. A toolbox of techniques for involving the public.

Participation is a crucial part of transportation planning to ensure that the values and goals of the region are met.  Your participation is requested, regardless of your level of knowledge or experience with the process.
