Public Participation Plan
The NWARPC Public Participation Plan (PPP) outlines procedures that are designed to promote and encourage public participation and involvement in the transportation planning process. These procedures will provide opportunities for citizens, employers, and transportation providers to contribute ideas and opinions early and at every stage of the planning process. This Plan:
- Prioritizes providing complete information, timely notices, access to decisions, and early, ongoing public involvement.
- Adapts to regional growth and changing demographics with flexible tools.
- Builds on successful past efforts and identifies future strategies without listing every potential engagement opportunity.
This document has been developed to ensure that NWARPC’s transportation planning process complies with federal public participation requirements. To the extent feasible and practical, NWARPC will ensure that the Public Participation Plan meets these requirements.
The 2025 Public Participation Plan (PPP) was approved by the RPC/Policy Committee on February 26, 2025 by Resolution No. 2025-03.
