The public comment period will be from Thursday, February 28, 2013 to Wednesday, April 10, 2013. How can I participate?There are several options for participating, including: www.dchcmpo.org -- Web site provides: §  A description and presentation (tables and maps) of the final plan – See the “Final Long-Range Plan” Web page or use this link:http://www.dchcmpo.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1§  An email and postal address for making comments.

This current step is a review of the report for the final plan, i.e., the 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) that the TAC (MPO’s board) approved in December 2012.  This report has the same transportation projects and financial elements as the final plan with the addition of information on how the plan was developed and meets federal guidelines. Is There an Air Quality Element?The MPO will also release the Air Quality Conformity report by the second week of March 2013.  The AQ report ensures that the 2040 MTP meets federal air quality standards.
