Draft Updated Public Involvement Policy (PIP)

Available for Public Comment

What is the PIP?

The Greater Hickory Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (GHMPO) Public Involvement Policy is an umbrella policy, guiding the plans and programs of the planning area’s transportation planning process. Public Involvement is an integral part of the GHMPO’s planning efforts. The Public Involvement Policy is comprised of the public involvement programs for all major planning activities, including the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), the Air Quality Conformity Determination, The Congestion Management Plan (CMP), the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), and the MPO’s provisions for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The Greater Hickory MPO plans to adopt the updated PIP on November 15, 2023, at the regularly scheduled Transportation Advisory Committee meeting. The Public is invited to attend to learn about the PIP, and comment. Please inform staff contacts listed below if you plan to attend and give comments.
