THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The committee will hold a hearing and motion on an Amendment to the Public Participation Plan. Updating this plan suggests changes in how the MPO engages the public on transportation projects, possibly expanding outreach methods, digital tools, and equity-focused engagement. While no contract is mentioned yet, the MPO may later seek services or platforms for public involvement, virtual meetings, surveys, and communications support. Vendors in outreach, digital engagement, and civic tech should track how the amended plan shifts engagement expectations.
Public Participation Plan guides outreach for TIP, long-range plans, and corridor studies.
