The Public Participation Task Force membership provides ongoing opportunities for interested residents of DVRPC’s nine-county region (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; and Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, and Mercer in New Jersey) to learn more about the regional planning and decision-making process from DVRPC staff and to share their thoughts on how DVRPC can improve its engagement process.
By applying to become a member of the Task Force, you understand that you will be working alongside other region residents to work with DVRPC to establish a diverse and engaged body to address the region's planning and public participation practices throughout DVRPC’s nine-county region. This application is an opportunity for you to share with us your personal experience living in the region and with planning projects. We take a holistic approach to selecting task force members. We are interested in hearing your thoughts about your communities future and transportation needs, regardless of your experience with transportation or planning projects.
Due to the Task Force’s mission of engaging residents who do not already play a role in the planning process elected officials are not eligible to serve as at-large members of the Task Force. The Commission provides a range of other opportunities to engage with the region's municipal and county governments. If you are an elected official, the Commission welcomes your participation in its other plans, programs, and task forces.
