SỰ THAM GIA PHỔ BIẾN

Kế hoạch tham gia của công chúng (PPP) mô tả các chiến lược và kỹ thuật của MPO để thông báo và thu hút sự tham gia của công chúng vào các vấn đề quy hoạch giao thông vận tải với mục tiêu và mục đích tối đa hóa sự tham gia và hiệu quả. Sự tham gia của công chúng là không thể thiếu đối với các chính sách, chương trình và dự án giao thông tốt. Nếu không có sự tham gia có ý nghĩa của công chúng, sẽ có nguy cơ đưa ra những quyết định sai lầm hoặc những quyết định gây ra những hậu quả tiêu cực ngoài ý muốn. MPO chịu trách nhiệm tích cực thu hút sự tham gia của tất cả các bên bị ảnh hưởng vào một quy trình cởi mở, hợp tác và hợp tác nhằm mang lại những cơ hội có ý nghĩa để tác động đến các quyết định vận chuyển. WAMPO cam kết tìm hiểu các nhu cầu, mối quan tâm và ý tưởng đa dạng về giao thông vận tải của cộng đồng chúng ta về những gì cần thay đổi hoặc cải thiện.

Mọi ý kiến đóng góp của công chúng có thể được gửi tớiwampo@wampo.org

WAMPO 2025 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) Amendment 2 Public Comment Period

The Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) has opened the public comment period for Amendment 2 to the 2025 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), October 10, 2025, through October 24, 2025. Public comments received during this period will be reported to and considered by the WAMPO Transportation Policy Body (TPB), which will decide whether to approve 2025 UPWP Amendment 2 at their November 18, 2025, meeting.

The Unified Planning Work Program is WAMPO’s primary budgeting document for planning activities during the year (January 1-December 31). Funding for the UPWP comes from various sources, including federal Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG) funds, which require a 20% local match (i.e., 80% federal funding, 20% local funding). The CPG/local-match expenditures in the 2025 UPWP following Amendment 2 total $1,647,000.

Proposed 2025 UPWP Amendment 2 changes include, among other things:

Funding adjustments between staff tasks to better align with planned work this year.
Decreasing the budgeted amount for operating expenses in 2025.
Decreasing funding programmed for consultant-supported projects that have been completed to reflect the invoiced amounts after project completion.
Decreasing funding programmed in 2025 for the multi-year, consultant-supported projects “Safe Routes to School Plan Development,” “Regional Active Transportation Plan,” “Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)”, and “Household Travel Surveys,” to better align with anticipated work schedules. These projects will continue beyond the end of 2025 and their overall planned funding across all project years remains unchanged.
Adjust funding programmed in 2025 for the consultant-supported project “Economic Development Report”. The overall contract amount over multiple years is not changed.
Removal of a sub-task to purchase data in 2025.

Draft 2025 Unified Planning Work Program Amendment 2 and information about the public comment period are available on the WAMPO website: www.wampo.org/upwp.

Paper copies of draft 2025 UPWP Amendment 2 may also be viewed at the WAMPO offices, 271 W 3rd St., Suite 208, Wichita, KS 67202.

WAMPO Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Architecture 2025 Update Public Comment Period

The Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) has opened the public comment period for a draft updated regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) architecture, October 18, 2025, through November 16, 2025. Public comments received during this period will be reported to and considered by the WAMPO Transportation Policy Body (TPB), which will decide whether to approve the draft regional ITS architecture at their November 18, 2025, meeting.

The regional ITS Architecture is a roadmap for transportation systems integration. It was developed through a cooperative effort by regional transportation agencies and local governments. It represents a shared vision of how the region’s ITS infrastructure components and maintainers will work together in the future, share information, and provide for a safer, more efficient, and more effective regional transportation system.

Per federal guidelines, the regional ITS architecture should be updated every five (5) years. Developing and maintaining a regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) architecture ensures that ITS infrastructure, devices, and personnel, are deployed in an organized and coordinated fashion. Without such a unified framework, opportunities for improving efficiency, safety, and data-sharing may be lost; at the extreme, a region could risk deploying incompatible or redundant technologies.

Draft materials available for public review at www.wampo.org/regional-its-architecture include the following:

A searchable set of linked webpages for navigating the regional ITS architecture.
ITS Architecture Executive Summary.
ITS Architecture Report.
ITS Architecture Deployment Plan.
ITS Architecture Maintenance Plan and Change Request Form.

Paper copies of supporting documentation for the draft regional ITS architecture may also be viewed upon request at the WAMPO offices, 271 W 3rd St., Suite 208, Wichita, KS 67202.
