Public Engagement

Home » Our Work

Public engagement is one of the core functions of an MPO. Continuous public engagement helps the MPO build and maintain relationships with stakeholders—including advocates, community leaders, and all members of the public—and bring new perspectives to the planning process. In all its planning work, the MPO strives to hear, value, and consider the needs and views of all people in the Boston region and incorporate their input in decision-making.

The MPO’s Public Engagement staff work in coordination with the Transportation Equity Program to ensure that populations that have been traditionally underserved by the transportation system and lacked access to the decision-making process have meaningful and accessible opportunities to participate in the planning process that shapes the Boston region’s transportation network.

We welcome you to get involved by connecting with MPO staff, commenting on projects and plans, or becoming a member of the Regional Transportation Advisory Council.

Program Evaluation

Starting in federal fiscal year (FFY) 2022, MPO staff began documenting the engagement activities conducted each year in order to assess the impacts of the Public Engagement Program’s efforts over time. Engagement data collected throughout the year is used to monitor and evaluate effectiveness, identify gaps in engagement, and develop strategies to address these gaps. Each year, staff present a memorandum documenting key metrics and goals to the MPO board.
