Community Involvement

The Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) believes that it is important for citizens to get involved in the transportation planning process. Your suggestions on how to improve our transportation system are considered and studied.

The PPP document is a Federal requirement, which is updated periodically to ensure compliance with newly released federal and state regulations. Public involvement (PI) is an integral process with a goal to involve all persons in a community, regardless of race, color, or national origin being affected positively or negatively by a future transportation project. 

PI is a two way communication stream aimed at incorporating the views, concerns, and issues of the public into the transportation decision making process, which is on-going in all phases of a project. lt allows the general public to be informed and to be heard. The PPP provides general guidelines for the development of stand-alone, specific public involvement plans for the TPO's required major planning documents, programs, and studies. This affords flexibility to TPO Project Managers to tailor PI techniques and strategies to a community's demographics within a study area.

Staff attends various community events to ensure that the public is provided with an equal opportunity to participate in our transportation planning process.

To request a speaker for your event, please email Paul Chance or call 305-375-1888.
