PROACTIVE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS

PROACTIVE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS FOR THE

MACON AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY



I. MACON AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY PROCESS

The Macon Area Transportation Study (MATS) is conducted for the Macon Urban

Area; this urban area encompasses the City of Macon, the County of Bibb, the Municipality of Payne City, and a portion of Jones County. The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is responsible for conducting a comprehensive transportation planning process as required by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. Within this study area, the MPO has been designated by the State as the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission with the Policy Committee of MATS being the forum for a cooperative decision-making process for the conduct of the study. The Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission, subject to the control of the Policy Committee, has the primary responsibility for carrying out the Planning Work Program, Transportation Plan, and Transportation Improvement Program.


The efficient movement of both people and goods is essential to the economic health of any urban area, particularly a growing one as Macon. Comprehensive community planning gives consideration to the interaction of land development and transportation facilities and promotes the most desirable pattern and character of urban growth.


Urban transportation planning is designed to develop and continuously evaluate short and long-range highway and transportation plans, which are soundly conceived to meet the goals and standards of the State and our urban community.


The comprehensive character of the planning process requires that the economic, population, and land use elements be included; that estimates be made of the future demands for all modes of transportation, both public and private, for both persons and goods; that terminal and transfer facilities and traffic control systems be included in the inventories and analyses; and that the entire area which is expected to be urbanized within the forecast period be included.


II. PURPOSE OF PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS

The Public Involvement Process is intended to include input and interaction of Macon area residents in MATS. This Public Involvement Program will also be coordinated with the statewide public improvement program when possible. The process described below provides a proactive vehicle for area residents to voice their concern and participate in the planning process. This process specifically provides opportunities for the public to participate, review and comment on the proposed Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program. The process will seek out and consider needs of the traditionally undeserved, including, but not limited to low-income and minority households.

Further, significant comments from the public will be addressed in a summary analysis and report in the final adopted Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program.


  1. MATS PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS

MATS is a joint effort of area citizens and public officials, the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission, the Middle Georgia RDC, Georgia Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Representatives from these agencies or groups participate in one or more of the three committees comprising the MATS organization: the Policy Committee, the Technical Coordinating Committee, and the Citizen Advisory Committee.


  1. Policy Committee: The Policy Committee for the Macon Area Transportation Study is responsible for the establishment of policy and overall guidance for the Study. The committee is composed of elected officials and other public decision makers who play important roles in transportation. The responsibilities of the Committee are: (1) to evaluate the soundness of existing transportation policies and practices; (2) to create a truly functional relationship between transportation and urban development; (3) to present legislative bodies and the public with fully documented reports on the needs of the area; (4) to review priorities and permit continuous programming on a factual basis; and (5) to adopt and maintain the Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program.


  1. Technical Coordinating Committee: The Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) is comprised of those individuals whose special skills and training are necessary to undertake the development of a comprehensive transportation planning process. Under the general policies and guidance of the Policy Committee, the TCC is the task force which carries out the day-to-day work of preparing and evaluating the basic elements which comprise the transportation planning process. This Committee performs those operations which are necessary to maintain the study on a continuing basis, and provides the forum for involving public transportation agencies; environmental, resource and permit agencies; and private providers of transportation.


  1. Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC): The purpose of the CAC is to provide a broad-based citizen input into the process of Transportation Planning. Specifically, the CAC advises the MATS Policy Committee of the opinions of individual citizens and citizen groups regarding the adoption of, or changes to the Macon Area Transportation Plan. This committee will involve and/or represent segments of the community affected by transportation plans, programs and projects, as well as those traditionally undeserved by existing transportation systems, including but not limited to low-income and minority households.

d. MPO Staff: The staff of the MPO provides the administration for the Committee Process; they prepare agendas, minutes, and meeting notices in conformance with the public involvement process described herein. The staff also develops work program schedules for the planning process and develops reference material or information for each committee as needed.


The MPO develops data, information, reports, and documents necessary for the development of the Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program. These planning elements will translate, as much as possible, technical information into simplified terms so that the general public can understand the planning products. All documents and plans from the MATS process are available to the public review at the public library, the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission, Middle Georgia Regional Development Center, and the Georgia Department of Transportation local office.


e. Media: The television, radio, and newspapers media are provided notices

of all Policy Committee meetings. In addition to the notices, an agenda of items to be discussed is also provided. Both the notice and agenda are provided to the media (15) days prior to the regularly scheduled meetings.

f. Process Evaluation: The Public Involvement Process shall be periodically reviewed by the MPO and Policy Committee in terms of its effectiveness in assuring that the process provides full and open access to all persons. The process will be evaluated and refined by following up with the established network and involved citizens for any suggestions on improvements. Further, the public involvement program will be reviewed by FHWA and FTA to assure the process provided full and open access to the MPO decision making process.


  1. MEETING OF THE POLICY, TECHNICAL COORDINATION AND CTIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEES


  1. Regularly Scheduled Meetings: The time, place, and date of regularly scheduled meetings will be posted in City Hall and in the office of the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission.

  1. Special Called Meetings: The Chairman of each committee may call a special meeting provided that a notice of the time, place, and date of the meeting is posted twenty-four hours in advance of said meeting. The written notice for the special called meeting will be in the same manner as for the regularly scheduled meeting.




  1. Agendas and Minutes: Agendas for each committee will be available to the committee members and general public fifteen days prior to each regularly scheduled committee meeting. The minutes of each committee will be available at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the committee.


  1. Open Meetings: All committee meetings will be open to the public. Exceptions to this policy will be as provided by Georgia Law.




  1. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AND COMMENTS


a. Public Comment Periods: A public comment period and notice will be required for the following:


  1. Public Involvement Process (initial adoption and subsequent revisions): A public comment period will be required for the initial adoption or subsequent revision to the Public Involvement Process for the Macon Area Transportation Study. Public notice will be given for this comment period by publishing an advertisement in a newspaper for general circulation at least forty-five (45) days before the public involvement process is initially adopted or subsequently revised by the Policy Committee.


The proposed Public Improvement Program will be made available to the public at central locations such as the public library, the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission, the Middle Georgia Regional Development Center, and the Georgia Department of Transportation local office.


(ii) Transportation Plan: A public comment period will be required before the adoption of the Transportation Plan. Public notice for the comment period will be given by publishing an advertisement

in a newspaper of general circulation at least thirty (30) days before the transportation plan is adopted by the Policy Committee. If determined by the Policy Committee that the final transportation plan differs significantly from the one which was made available for public comment and such plan raises new material issues which interested parties could not reasonably have foreseen from the public involvement efforts, an additional public comment period will be required. Public notice for this comment period will be given by publishing an advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation at least fifteen (15) days before the plan is finally adopted by the Policy Committee.


The draft Transportation Plan will be made available to the public at central locations such as the public library, the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission, the Middle Georgia Regional Development Center, and the Georgia Department of Transportation local office. Final copies of the Transportation Plan will also be made available to the public for information purposes.



If the Policy Committee determines it necessary to amend the final plan, the Policy Committee may approve the proposed amendment(s) subject to a 15 day public review and comment period. If no significant comments are received, the amendments will stand as approved with no further action required by the Policy Committee. Results of the public review and comment period will be provided to the Policy Committee, for their information, at the next regularly scheduled meeting. If comments are received which the MPO staff considers as potentially significant, the comments will be presented to the Policy Committee for consideration and appropriate action. (Amended 8/10/95, MATS 95-08-01)

(iii) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP): A public comment period will be required for the adoption of the Transportation Improvement Program. Public notice will be given by publishing an advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation at least thirty (30) days before the Transportation Improvement Program is adopted by the Policy Committee. If determined by the Policy Committee that the final Transportation Improvement Program differs significantly from the one which was made available for public comment and such plan raises new material issues which interested parties could not reasonable have foreseen from the public involvement efforts, an additional public comments period will be required. Public notice for this comment period will be given by publishing an advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation at least (15) days before the final Transportation Improvement Program is adopted by the Policy Committee.


The draft Transportation Improvement Program will be made available to the public at central locations such as the public library, the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission, the Middle Georgia Regional Development Center, and the Georgia Department of Transportation local office. Final copies will also be made available for information purposes.

If the Policy Committee determines it necessary to amend the final TIP, the Policy Committee may approve the proposed amendment(s) subject to a 15 day public review and comment period. If no significant comments are received, the amendments will stand as approved with no further action required by the Policy Committee. Results of the public review and comment period will be provided to the Policy Committee, for their information, at the next regularly scheduled meeting. If comments are received which the MPO staff considers as potentially significant, the comments will be presented to the Policy Committee for consideration and appropriate action. (Amended 8/10/95, MATS 95-08-01)

  1. General Dissemination of Information: Items III.d, and V.A. (1), (ii), and (iii) have been developed to provide timely information to segments of the community affected by plans, programs and projects. Should the Policy Committee determine that the process needs to be revised to further this goal, then the MPO staff will make the necessary revisions during the evaluation process described under III.f.. herein, and provide for the required comment period before the revision is submitted to and adopted by the Policy Committee.


  1. Public Comments: When significant written and oral comments are received on the draft transportation plan or TIP as a result of the public involvement process or the interagency consultation process required under the U.S. EPA’s conformity regulation, a summary analysis and report on the deposition of comments will be made part of the final plan and TIP.


Plan and/or TIP amendments and the resulting public comments will be made part of the Policy Committee minutes and will be kept on file in the MPO office. Amendments and comments also will be incorporated into copies of the Plan and TIP made available at central locations. (Amended 8/10/95, MATS 95-08-01)
