Public Participation and Title VI

SRPEDD's Public Participation Program

The Public Participation Program (PPP) is developed with the ultimate goal of allowing every person in the region the opportunity to become active participants in the 3C (Continuous, Cooperative and Comprehensive) metropolitan planning and decision-making process guiding every issue, project, program and service. The PPP is adaptable and guides the SMMPO in its public participation efforts in creation of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) and various transportation studies.

The goal of the PPP is to ensure that all persons, regardless of race, color, national origin, age, gender, gender identity or expression, disability, religion, ancestry or ethnicity, sexual orientation or veteran’s status have an equal opportunity to participate in the SMMPO’s decision-making process.

Our Work

Public Participation Plan

The plan outlines general protocols for public engagement, public meeting protocols, as well as opportunities to continuously improve SRPEDD's outreach efforts.

Equity Analysis

The TIP Equity Analysis assesses the anticipated benefits and burdens of federally-funded transportation projects on Environmental Justice and Title VI populations in the SMMPO region. It considers the number of projects in a community, total dollar amount of funding per community and per capita to assess the distribution of Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) projects and funding across the region. This analysis considers the per capita spending and anticipated improvements within minority, low-income, and Limited English Proficient populations in the region.
