The Charlottesville Albemarle MPO uses the CA-MPO Engagement Plan to communicate the strategies it uses to satisfy federal regulations that ensure that the MPO has an adequate process to involve interested or affected individuals, organizations, and government entities when developing and adopting MPO planning documents. This plan is intended to provide as much flexibility as possible in meeting the requirements established in the federal regulations. The TJPDC as an organization, which includes the CA-MPO operations, is committed to exceeding the minimum requirements and developing meaningful engagement opportunities, considering the diversity of needs and preferences throughout the MPO area.
During the 2020 update there were some substantial changes requested by MPO committees and the public. The draft of the 2021 CA-MPO Public Engagement Plan reflects the recommended changes. This is an opportunity for the public to review the plan and provide feedback. The federal regulations require that there be a 45-day public comment period prior to any significant changes to the plan being made. CA-MPO staff started the formal comment period April 19, 2021.
