The NWARPC Public Participation Plan (PPP) has been developed to ensure that the transportation planning process conducted by the NWARPC complies with federal requirements for public involvement and participation. This document 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. Efforts will be made to assure participation by traditionally under-served individuals, including elderly, low income and minority individuals, persons with disabilities, and persons with limited English proficiency. The NWARPC will, to the extent reasonable and practical, ensure that the Public Participation Plan will address the requirements for public involvement.
