The Merced County
Association of Governments has established a Partnership for
Integrated Planning (PIP) program to engage more groups that
have an interest in the future of transportation in their
county and in the planning process. To
gather information for the Regional Transportation Plan,
MCAG staff implemented the
PIP (Partners for Integrated Planning) program, reaching out
to the citizens of Merced
County
through innovative means. In addition to 32 community
meetings held in
February
and March, staff distributed a questionnaire at the meetings
and to individual
citizens
and citizen groups. The
Merced County Association of Governments wants to bring more
consensus to decisions and help special interest groups
understand each other’s needs through an extensive
community outreach program.
Goals of the Partners
for Integrated Planning program are to:
- Streamline
transportation planning process
- Engage all groups with
an interest in transportation from the beginning of
the planning process through project approval
- Lessen environmental
impact
- Provide forum for all
environmental groups and regulatory agencies to ensure
that all community groups have representation
- Develop and implement
the Partners for Integrated Planning (PIP) plan for
community involvement
