The Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO) will begin a listening tour in February to learn about residents’ transportation priorities for the Fredericksburg area. This community outreach effort will also give the public a chance to review draft transportation plans for the Fredericksburg region, and provide feedback on the plans.
FAMPO is a federally-required planning body responsible for transportation planning in the Fredericksburg area. FAMPO serves as the primary forum where policy makers and the public work together to develop local transportation plans. “FAMPO is responsible for developing our region’s short and long-range transportation plans. This listening tour will allow us to learn about the types of transportation projects residents want prioritized and how regional transportation options impact their lives.
The public’s input will help us make more informed transportation decisions,” said Stacey Feindt, FAMPO Public Involvement Coordinator. Outreach Destinations The listening tour will have stops at several of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library’s branches. During listening sessions, library patrons will be able to stop by the FAMPO table in the library’s lobby and provide feedback on regional transportation plans, ask questions, and weigh in on transportation priorities by adding their thoughts to the transportation vision board.
“We are holding our listening sessions at public libraries because public libraries attract, and are accessible to, a diverse set of residents. We recognize that an individual’s demographic factors have an impact on their transportation needs. Therefore, we are going to go where we can hear from a diverse group of people.” said Feindt.
