About the addendum
The Metropolitan Council is taking comment on an update to the Transportation Addendum to the Public Engagement Plan.
This addendum is responsive to the guidance provided in federal law (23 §CFR450.316) requiring Metropolitan Planning Organizations to develop a participation plan that defines a process for providing community members and other affected parties with opportunities to participate in the metropolitan transportation planning process.
This update ties directly back to the Met Council’s Public Engagement Plan, adopting its engagement principles and building on its measures for success. The addendum expands and clarifies the definition of historically underrepresented people, includes the Met Council’s adopted government-to-government tribal relations policy, and updates and categorizes engagement methods to align with the IAP2 Spectrum of Public Participation.
