MPO Listening Session on Public Participation Program Revision

Wed. Mar. 3 4:00 PM

State Transportation Building
Suite 2150
10 Park Plaza
Boston MA (map)

The Metropolitan Planning Organization is holding a Listening Session to gather input on its planned revisions to the Public Participation Plan.

Ordinarily, amendments have a 30-day public comment period. The change is to allow the Transportation Planning and Programming Committee to vote to shorten the public comment period by as much as 15 days, and to waive it in an emergency.

This change is important because it can act to decrease the public’s influence upon state decisionmaking, particularly if the 15-day comment period is chosen to extend over a holiday.

For more information, see MPO Transportation Improvement Plan Process.
