The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) Public Involvement Policy guides efforts to proactively involve the public to plan a multimodal transportation system that meets the region’s economic, sustainability, and equity goals.

• Planning activities that require public involvement
• Guidelines for determining the level of public involvement needed for various planning activities
• Minimum and advanced notification guidelines for various planning activities
• The length of public input periods
• Communication and engagement methods that the MPO can use to solicit feedback during all stages of the plan, program, and project development
• How the MPO will respond to public comments
• Major decision points for plans and studies that require public involvement
