MPO Document Amendments
Background: Cascades East Transit underwent a Triennial Review by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in August and September. One finding of the review was that the MPO process for public notification of MTIP amendments and publication of the annual listing of federal projects did not fully meet federal requirements. At the October 18 Policy Board meeting staff introduced proposed changes to the following documents: 1) 2012-2015 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program, 2) Title VI and Environmental Justice Plan, and 3) Public Participation Plan. A 30-day public notification and comment period was held to solicit feedback on the proposed changes.
