(Section 11204(a)(1) of BIL) The term “metropolitan planning organization” has the meaning given the term in Title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 134(b). (Section 11204 of BIL)

## What the grant funds

The purpose of PPPP is to support data-driven approaches to planning that, upon completion, can be evaluated for public benefit. The program provides funding to develop and implement a publicly accessible, transparent prioritization process for the ranking and selection of projects for inclusion in short-range and long-range transportation plans. FHWA will award no more than $10 million in total ($2 million maximum per award) in each fiscal year for eligible prioritization process pilots that meet the eligibility requirements found in Section C.3 and the selection criteria described in Section E. The vision of PPPP is to fund the development and implementation of pilot prioritization processes (also referred to herein as PPPP pilot(s) or Project(s)) that address and integrate the components of existing transportation programs and support projects that improve safety, climate change and sustainability, equity, and economic strength and global competitiveness consistent with DOT’s strategic goals.[1] FHWA also seeks to award Projects that address environmental justice, barriers to opportunity, coordination and integration of transportation and land use, vulnerable users, transparent public involvement, complete streets, freight, and system condition and reliability. FHWA seeks to award prioritization process pilots under PPPP that include a public involvement plan that ensures transparency, accessibility, and accountability to the public throughout the development of the prioritization process throughout its implementation and throughout its use. Public participation is an integral part of the transportation process which ensures that decisions are made in consideration of, and to benefit public needs and preferences. A continuous, transparent, and accountable process, bringing diverse viewpoints and values into the decision-making process, enables agencies to make better informed decisions throughout and builds mutual understanding and trust between the agencies and the public they serve. USDOT recently published a technical resource document titled Promising Practices for Meaningful Public Involvement in Transportation Decision-Making[2] to provide transportation practitioners with examples of practices that can promote public involvement into transportation decision-making and how to effectively engage a broad representation of community members.
