REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS REGARDING THE PROPOSED
DRAFT 2020 PUBLIC PARTCIPATION PLAN (PPP)
The Eastern Shore Metropolitan Planning Organization (ESMPO) has prepared the Draft 2020 PPP for review by the MPO Policy Board and Advisory Committees in April 2020.
The PPP is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Department of transportation (USDOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT), ESMPO member governments and citizens living within the ESMPO planning area. A primary purpose of the ESMPO is to encourage community involvement during the transportation planning process. The PPP outlines the manner in which the public is reached, encouraging the maximum amount of participation possible. The PPP outlines the processes for involving the public in transportation planning under federal and state regulations and guidelines for preparing the primary planning documents; Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), Public Participation Plan (PPP), and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The PPP sets measurable goals and performance evaluations.
The Draft PPP will be available for review at the locations listed below from February 28th through April 12th. The MPO welcomes comments during the public comment period and at any MPO meeting. The document may also be viewed on the ESMPO website, www.easternshorempo.org.
