Public Input Opportunities

Public engagement was a significant component of the Destination 2055 MTP development process. Investment decisions cannot be based solely on performance numbers and the efforts of the MPO/TPO staff and policy boards. Public engagement elicits the input of a variety of stakeholders and residents to help create a broader-based plan, and the engagement process for Destination 2055 MTP provided an opportunity to build credibility and public support for the adopted plan.

The fully compiled final report, along with the related Air Quality Conformity Determination Report, is available on the Final Plan webpage.
