WILMAPCO Public Participation Plan
The Wilmington Area Planning Council (WILMAPCO) is the
metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for Cecil
County, Maryland and New Castle County, Delaware. As
such, we are called upon to meet the requirements set
out by federal transportation legislation as we develop and
coordinate transportation plans and programs in our
region.
Public participation is a long standing
attribute of the planning process. WILMAPCO must
elicit from both stakeholders and the general public
their opinion on the goals and objectives of the
Regional Transportation Plan, their perspective on the
transportation needs of various groups, and their view
on investment strategies. We are also asked to
reach out to people who are traditionally underserved by
transportation projects, such as low-income and minority
households.
To ensure that we are meeting the
spirit of the law, we have created a Public
Participation Plan (PPP). This document provides an
overview of how we ensure that the public is involved in
this process. The three overarching goals for the
Plan are:
-
Widely disseminated, clear,
complete, and timely information to the residents,
affected agencies, and interested parties.
-
Create an open and ongoing
two-way public involvement process that ensures full
resident, agency, and interested party participation
in, and input into, regional transportation
planning.
-
Achieve early and continuous
involvement of the public in development of
transportation plans, projects, and programs.

Public
Participation Plan Evaluation
Periodically the Public
Participation Plan undergoes an evaluation of its public
participation activities and initiatives. The PPP is
then revised or amended to enhance public participation
in the transportation planning process. The 2009 Public
Participation Plan Evaluation was adopted in January
2010.
