Public Involvement
Draft 2027 Public Participation Plan
The Birmingham Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has prepared an update to its Public Participation Plan (PPP). The PPP adheres to applicable federal guidelines and outlines how, when, and why the public is involved in the transportation planning process. It establishes expectations for public engagement and describes the tools, timelines, and processes used by the MPO to involve community members, partner agencies, and stakeholders in shaping regional transportation decisions.
In addition, the PPP outlines the processes for involving the public in transportation planning under federal and state regulations and guidelines for preparing the primary MPO required documents: the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), four-year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), long-range Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Public Participation Plan (PPP).
