The Southern Alleghenies Rural Planning Organization (RPO) Public Participation Plan (PPP) outlines a series of standard procedures for informing the public and involving them in the transportation planning process. The PPP ensures that the Southern Alleghenies RPO has a proactive and meaningful public involvement process that provides complete information, timely public notice, and full public access by all segments of the population to key decisions. It serves as a guide to outline public participation activities for transportation-related public meetings, project-level outreach, the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
The PPP is updated on a 5-year cycle and is developed in cooperation with PennDOT District 9-0, PennDOT Central Office, Federal Highways Administration (FHWA), and SAP&DC.
