Public Participation Plan

How Should the SWMPC involve YOU in transportation planning?

The Southwest Michigan Planning Commission (SWMPC) is updating their Public Participation Plan for the TwinCATS and NATS MPOs.  We are asking the public to review the plan and see if there are additional ways that we can engage people in the transportation planning process.

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.
