Information for Meeting of CMMPO
Wednesday August 17, 2011 12:00 PM EDT

YOU are invited to a public meeting!
to discuss the
• Draft 2012 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)
• Draft 2012-2015 Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP)
• Draft 2012 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP)
• Draft 2011 Public Outreach Program (POP)
For information purposes and in accordance with the Central Massachusetts
Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (CMMPO) formal Public Outreach Program, the
Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC) invites the public to
attend meetings to discuss the above listed draft documents. In order to maximize
the opportunity for public comment and suggestions, two public meeting sessions
are scheduled for August 17, 2011 in Union Hall on the 2nd floor at Union Station,
Worcester, MA. A daytime session will begin at 12:00 noon and an evening
session will start at 6:00 PM. Both meetings will include a staff presentation and
are considered excellent opportunities to learn about the region’s broad range of
transportation planning efforts. Time will also be available for questions and
answers.
The 2012 RTP is a comprehensive multi-modal and intermodal document that
addresses all major modes of transportation in the region, and includes chapters on
demographics, the environment, livability, safety, security and a broad range of
programs and analyses while recommending major improvement projects. The
2012-2015 TIP is the listing of all transportation projects in the planning region
programmed to receive federal-aid funding, both highway and transit. The 2012
UPWP describes all CMMPO transportation planning activities anticipated within the
region during the upcoming program year. Lastly, the 2011 POP refines the
proactive public outreach procedures utilized by the CMMPO. All draft documents
can be viewed on-line at www.cmrpc.org. Paper copies are available upon request
at the CMRPC office at Union Station.
The federally required 30-day public review and comment period established by the
CMMPO in July will end on August 23, 2011. All written comments will be
accepted until 4:00 PM on that day. (Comments pertaining to the Draft 2011 Public
Outreach Plan only will be accepted until September 7, 2011.)
CMMPO meetings are conducted in accessible locations and materials can be provided in accessible formats. If you would
like special accommodations, such as an interpreter, please contact James Hanna at jhanna@cmrpc.org or (508) 459‐3338 for
further information.
