Approval of this action will result in a recommendation being made to the MPO Board to finalize the update of the MPO's Public Participation Plan (PPP), a core product of the MPO that establishes guidelines and methods for soliciting public participation throughout the transportation planning process.

The MPO’s PPP provides guidelines for achieving optimum public participation with assessment tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the Plan. Exemplary public participation begins early in the planning process and continues throughout each of the planning stages, helping to avoid, minimize and mitigate project impacts while providing the best possible solutions.

To ensure all interested persons residing in Broward had an opportunity to review and comment on the MPO’s updated PPP, a public comment period of more than 45 days was provided. The draft PPP was posted on the MPO website, social media, and advertised in local publications. All comments were either incorporated or addressed with the commenter. 

At the upcoming meeting, MPO staff will provide a brief overview of the PPP and address any questions or comments. The updated PPP can be found on the MPO website at https://www.browardmpo.org/core-products/public-participation-plan-ppp. For the PowerPoint presentation, please see the Attachment.

MPO staff recommends approval of the Broward MPO's PPP.
