The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) is comprised of volunteer citizens from throughout the planning area. All committee meetings are open to the public. See MORPC’s calendar.

Public involvement is an important element in MORPC’s efforts to provide planning, programming and policies for the region. MORPC strives to proactively solicit input from a broad representation of the community. Our overall public involvement goals include:

1. Provide timely information about planning issues and processes to the public.

2. Provide access to technical and policy information used in the development of plans and programs.

3. Adequately notify the community of opportunities to be involved in planning, policy and programming activities.

4. Continually seek innovative and responsive ways to be aware and learn the needs of all segments of the population.

5. Obtain early and continuous public involvement in planning, programming and policy processes.

Legal notices and press releases regarding public meetings are sent to over 100 newspapers, radio and television stations, and magazines in the planning and study areas. Notices are also sent to neighborhood groups, private businesses, local governmental agencies and the media announcing the availability of draft plans for public review and comment. The draft documents are distributed to all major metropolitan libraries in the planning area. All notifications, press releases, and documents are placed on MORPC’s web site. MORPC is available to present information on studies or programs to your group.
