Public Input for the Corpus Christi Area
Metropolitan Transportation Planning Process Certification Review

Federal Certification Review: October 26 – October 28, 2021

Federal Certification Review Announcement Letter to MPO Transportation Policy Committee Chair - Judge David Krebs.

Federal regulations require that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) conduct a joint planning certification review at least once every four years for large metropolitan areas (urbanized areas over 200,000 in population).

For the Corpus Christi Area, the metropolitan transportation planning process is conducted by the Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). This process is done in cooperation with the region’s transportation providers (e.g., Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority, Texas Department of Transportation, etc.) as well as other local governments throughout the region.

The Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration are seeking Public input concerning the metropolitan transportation planning process within the Corpus Christi metropolitan planning area in conjunction with the joint planning certification review of the MPO. Below are three example questions for providing input concerning the metropolitan transportation planning process:

1)		Do you have any comments regarding the Corpus Christi Transportation Policy Committee’s performance in carrying out the responsibility of the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)?
2)		Is Corpus Christi MPO doing an overall good job of providing the public with a reasonable opportunity to provide input and participate as part of the metropolitan transportation planning process? Yes/No – explain.
3)		Are there specific areas you feel the Corpus Christi MPO could improve? If so, explain.

You may e-mail or mail your comments to one of the Federal contact persons listed below:
