Citizen Advisory Groups

For those who want a chance to be involved in individual projects, there are Citizen’s Advisory Groups. When MCDOT plans a capital improvement project in your area, all citizens are given the opportunity to become a member of the Citizen’s Advisory Group (CAG). As a member of the CAG, you will be reviewing reports, attending work sessions and—most importantly—giving us your input and opinion.
