WICHITA AREA METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
A Public Participation Plan (PPP) describes an MPO's strategies and techniques to inform and engage the public in transportation planning issues with the goal and purpose of maximizing participation and effectiveness. Public participation is integral to good transportation policies, programs, and projects. Without meaningful public involvement, there is a risk of making poor decisions or decisions that have unintended negative consequences. The MPO is responsible for actively involving all affected parties in an open, cooperative, and collaborative process that provides meaningful opportunities to influence transportation decisions. WAMPO is committed to understanding our communities diverse transportation needs, concerns, and ideas about what needs to change or be improved. ​

As part of the transportation planning process, the Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) updates its short-range Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) every two years and its long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) every five years. From September 15, 2023, through February 2, 2024, WAMPO held a combined Call for Projects for the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2025-2028 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) 2050.
One hundred and two (102) candidate projects were submitted from eleven (11) WAMPO member jurisdictions for consideration for both the short-range TIP and long-range MTP planning horizons. These projects will be considered by stakeholders, elected officials, and local and regional experts for inclusion in the Federal fiscal years (FFY) 2025-2028 TIP and MTP 2050. These project proposals and decision-making efforts will culminate in a shared regional vision of transportation infrastructure for the next 25 years.
​
Valuing transparency and collaboration, WAMPO developed maps for each candidate project location, all of which have been made available at https://www.wampo.org/mtp2050 for review and public comment from April 1, 2024, through April 30, 2024.
