This meeting welcomes members of the public, partner organizations, and other stakeholders to provide comments to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) certification review panel regarding DVRPC and its role as the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the Greater Philadelphia region.
