Public Participation Plan
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN (PPP)
Adopted by the Transportation Policy Committee on July 1, 2021
Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) were formed specifically to empower local citizens and their communities with a strong voice in achieving their transportation goals and improving regional transportation. MPOs exist throughout the United States in all urbanized areas of more than 50,000 people and have the authority to plan, prioritize, and program federal funding for transportation projects in urban/metropolitan areas. The Corpus Christi MPO Transportation Policy Committee (TPC) is the designated forum for municipalities, counties, transit agencies, tribal governments, state and private agencies to address regional transportation issues.
The 2021 Public Participation Plan identifies the outreach and involvement activities for the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Planning (MTP) process and for updates to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) process.

Release for a 45-Day Public Comment Period on August 7, 2025
Public engagement has become increasingly difficult for the Corpus Christi MPO and similar agencies. Low participation is often due to limited awareness of its importance and competing priorities. Reaching underserved communities is even harder due to time, mobility, and trust barriers. Overcoming these challenges is essential to meaningful public involvement.
