Public Participation Plan
Public involvement is one of the cornerstones of transportation planning. At the Jacksonville Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (JUMPO), our goal is to inform, involve, and engage with people about transportation needs, challenges, and most importantly – solutions.
The MPO’s public participation process must also adhere to the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Title VI and Environmental Justice, LEP
The JUMPO continues to take strides to inform and engage underserved communities. The Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects people from discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs receiving federal financial assistance.
