How can MPOs and citizens better engage with each other?

Building on the range of new ideas for metropolitan planning organizations outlined in our Innovative MPO Guidebook, join us on September 30, 2015, at 3 p.m. EDT for the fourth webinar in our series as we address a common complaint from both metropolitan planning organization (MPO) staff and citizen activists: how to best engage one another to shape the regional planning process.

In next week’s webinar, we will offer examples of reliable and cost-effective options to interact with the public, including a preview of a new resource we’re producing on an approach known as “creative placemaking” which will be released this Fall.

Join experts from T4A and the Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to learn helpful techniques that support planning processes and community partnerships.

Register today for our Innovative MPO webinar on Wednesday, September 30th, at 3pm.

By the way, if you haven’t yet read it, our Innovative MPO Guidebook offers examples that both groups can use to bring them closer together. Cost effective techniques such as scenario planning, new technologies and toolkits are just a few of the innovative examples the guide covers. You can read and download the guidebook for free.
