A Federal Certification Review of the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) and the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC) will be held on September 23-24, 2020. The Review will be conducted jointly by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and will kick off with a public meeting on September 23, 2020.
The certification review is conducted every four years to determine if the HRTPO and HRPDC planning processes adequately address major issues facing Hampton Roads in accordance with applicable Federal regulations. The review will also assess the cooperative planning process between the HRTPO, transit operators, local governments, and state agencies.
During the public meeting, which will be held via WebEx, members of the public will be invited to express their views on the transportation planning process being conducted in Hampton Roads. Stay tuned for future updates on the certification, and for more information on the Federal Certification Review, and the public meeting to be held on September 23, 2020, contact Ms. Kendall Miller, Administrator, Office of Community Affairs and Civil Rights at (757) 420-8300 or at kmiller@hrpdcva.gov/kmiller@hrtpo.org.
