It is the primary goal of the MPO, to better educate the public on upcoming projects, federal requirements, and how to be/stay involved in the overall planning process. 

Our Values

We strive to ensure that every voice is heard and recognized. This includes giving speaking opportunities at every meeting, joining the email distribution list, or commenting on plans/programs by the MPO.
