MPO Public Outreach

You can provide input into the future of transportation in the Boston region at upcoming public workshops.

Please attend and share your views.

Staff from the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) will answer questions and gather comments about two important regional transportation planning documents that will be available for public review and comment in May and June.

• The draft federal fiscal years 2014–17 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
  
• The draft federal fiscal year 2014 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)

The TIP establishes the list of highway and transit projects in the Boston region that will receive federal funding. The UPWP establishes the list of transportation planning studies to be conducted in the region.

The MPO is also seeking input on:

• The transportation needs of minority and low-income communities in the region and of the elderly, persons with disabilities, and persons with limited English proficiency.
  
• The MPO’s Public Participation Plan and the MPO’s process for gathering public input.

The documents can all be reviewed at www.bostonmpo.org.
