Participación pública
Un Plan de Participación Pública (PPP) describe las estrategias y técnicas de una MPO para informar e involucrar al público en cuestiones de planificación del transporte con el objetivo y el propósito de maximizar la participación y la eficacia. La participación pública es parte integral de las buenas políticas, programas y proyectos de transporte. Sin una participación pública significativa, existe el riesgo de tomar malas decisiones o decisiones que tengan consecuencias negativas no deseadas. La MPO es responsable de involucrar activamente a todas las partes afectadas en un proceso abierto, cooperativo y colaborativo que brinde oportunidades significativas para influir en las decisiones de transporte. WAMPO se compromete a comprender las diversas necesidades, inquietudes e ideas de transporte de nuestras comunidades sobre lo que debe cambiarse o mejorarse.

WAMPO FFY2025-FFY2028 Transportation Improvement Program
--The Public Comment Period for 2025-2028 Transportation Improvement Program Amendment #4 Is Open
The Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) has opened the public comment period for Amendment 4 to the FFY2025-FFY2028 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), February 28, 2025, through March 14, 2025. Public comments received during this 15-day period will be reported to and considered by the WAMPO Transportation Policy Body, which will decide whether to revise the document prior to final approval on April 8, 2025.
A TIP is required for a metropolitan area to receive federal transportation funds. Demonstrating a planned approach, all regionally significant and/or federally funded transportation projects in the WAMPO region are required to be included in the TIP. These projects may include highway, road, or bridge construction projects, operations and maintenance of the transportation system, equipment purchases, such as replacement buses, and transportation planning initiatives, among other project types. Changes to and additions of specific projects are often required before the development of the next new TIP, so WAMPO conducts regularly scheduled amendments to the TIP, usually about four per year.
WAMPO fully complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities. For more information, or to obtain a Title VI Discrimination Complaint Form, see www.wampo.org or call 316.779.1313.
