The development of the new MTP requires public involvement, including public review by the BMCMPO Citizens Advisory Committee, the Technical Advisory Committee, and adoption by the Policy Committee before submission to state and federal agencies for final approval. Meeting attendees will help shape long-term transportation investments for the region by providing feedback on the proposed list of MTP projects.
The draft plan will be available for public review from December 5, 2024 to January 6, 2025, both online at bloomington.in.gov/mpo/metropolitan-transportation-plan and in printed form at the Bloomington Planning and Transportation Department, 401 N. Morton St., Ste. 130.

- Filling out a comment form at the meeting
- Emailing mpo@bloomington.in.gov
- Mailing written comments to BMCMPO, P.O. Box 100, Bloomington, IN 47402
