This PPP guides the MVMPO’s inclusion of populations that may have been underserved by the transportation system and/or have lacked access to the decision-making process. This Plan also governs public participation requirements that apply to all federally funded transit plans/projects implemented by the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority (MVRTA) – an MVMPO member agency.
This PPP shapes all MVMPO public engagement, from information distribution to formalized public involvement. The MVMPO uses this Plan to offer the public early, continuous, and meaningful opportunities to help identify social, economic, and environmental impacts of proposed transportation policies, projects and initiatives.
