RPA-1 Public Participation Plan (PPP)

Public Review Draft and Comment Submission

RPA-1 Public Participation Plan (PPP)

The Public Participation Plan (PPP) of the Upper Explorerland Regional Planning Commission (UERPC) Transportation Policy Board is now available for public review and comment. The document will be available for public review for a minimum of 45 days prior to adoption, and will be considered for adoption at the Board’s March 2021 meeting.

The PPP is developed and used to define a process for providing the public with reasonable opportunities to be involved in the transportation planning process for the five-county region of northeast Iowa consisting of Allamakee, Clayton, Fayette, Howard, and Winneshiek Counties. This includes anyone who lives, works, has an interest in, or does business in this region and could potentially be affected by transportation decisions. The PPP considers various strategies to engage people and groups who are traditionally underserved by existing transportation systems such as minorities, low-income communities, older persons, individuals with disabilities, and others.

Interested citizens are invited and encouraged to review the PPP document by clicking the link at the bottom of this page.

Comments may be submitted using the comment form on this page, or to Aaron Detter by mail at 325 Washington Street, Suite A, Decorah, IA 52101, by email at adetter@uerpc.org, or by phone at 563-419-6126.
