PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSPORTATION DECISION-MAKING
This report addresses the following question: How does a transportation agency grab and hold people's interest in a project or plan, convince them that active involvement is worthwhile, and provide the means for them to have direct and meaningful impact on its decisions? A wide variety of tools to involve the public in developing specific plans, programs, or projects through their public involvement processes is presented in the following chapters: (1) Informing People Through Outreach and Organization; (2) Involving People Face-to-Face Through Meetings; (3) Getting Feedback from Participants; and (4) Using Special Techniques to Enhance Participation. A systematic thought process based on fundamental guidelines and following a series of steps is considered necessary, whether designing a public involvement program for statewide or metropolitan planning or for an individual transportation investment.
