All documents require the MPO’s approval prior to distribution to the public. The Team will
present the study materials and respond to questions and/or comments from the audience.
Attendees will be encouraged to submit written comments on the comment cards provided
at the sign-in table. All comments made verbally, or in writing, are captured in the MPO’s
database to become a part of the official public record. If items require responses, they will
be sent to the appropriate agency for a timely response.
Community Outreach
Traditional community resources like libraries, city halls, and community centers will be
utilized to reach out to the public. The Team will distribute LRTP brochures to these types
of facilities throughout the County as a way to reach the general public seeking information
or assistance from local governments. Utilizing these public resources is an effective way
to engage stakeholders in the process. This outreach technique is particularly suited for
people who do not have access to the internet or depend on community facilities to do so.
Ensuring high attendance at
public meetings is important
