EFFECTIVE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IN TRANSPORTATION: A PRIMER FOR PRACTITIONERS

The author, a veteran transportation project planner, states that public involvement is difficult to do well, but good public involvement usually pays off, and bad public involvement invariably backfires. He offers practical, insider tips for success in engaging the public in decision making but warns that each effort will be unique, difficult, frustrating, and rewarding--and possibly will lead to unanticipated directions.
