The Collier MPO places a high value on public involvement. The MPO’s public involvement program is designed to ensure opportunities for the public to express their views on transportation and mobility issues and to become active participants in the transportation decision-making process. The MPO provides multiple ways for the public to become involved including: electronic, telephone, postal mail and by visiting the MPO office. The public involvement process used by the MPO is described in our Public Participation Plan.
Below are ways that you can become actively involved in the MPO’s transportation planning process:

JOIN AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Joining an advisory committee provides opportunities to be more directly involved in the transportation planning process. Download a MPO Advisory Committee Application and send it to the MPO by either email or regular mail. Several advisory committees include citizen members. When there is a vacancy, the MPO will contact you. Please contact Anne McLaughlin at (239) 252-5884 or by email at Anne.McLaughlin@colliercountyfl.gov with any questions or for more information.
JOIN THE ADVISER NETWORK
The MPO established the Adviser Network in 2018 to serve as an additional mechanism for citizen involvement with the objective of increasing participation by local residents. This network is for individuals who have expressed an interest in remaining informed of MPO activities; who wish to comment on MPO actions of specific interest to them; or who may not have the time to participate on a standing committee.
Members of the Adviser Network have several options for participating in the MPO planning process, varying from interaction through social media, responding to surveys, community meetings and forums, submitting comments, and viewing of videos. Members will be notified of all MPO events. As a member of the Adviser Network, you can be as active as you want, from just reading about upcoming meetings and projects, to submitting public comments and attending meetings. Members are encouraged to participate on an as-desired basis as time allows and their interest dictates. There’s a place for everyone on the Adviser Network.
Please click Adviser Network to sign-up for the Adviser Network. For more information, contact MPO Executive Director Anne McLaughlin at 239-252-5884.
