Participation Survey

Click here to view full size picture

The Southwest Michigan Planning Commission is currently revising its Transportation Participation Plan.  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.

 

The draft document can downloaded below.  So we can understand your feedback on how to best involve you in the process, please fill out the survey below.  Or submit comments on the draft document to Transportation Planner Anna Rahtz at arahtz@swmpc.org or (269) 925-1137 x 23.
