Get Involved!
Public participation is an integral part of transportation planning. Awareness and involvement in governmental processes are critical to successful transportation planning and programming. When the public is engaged in the process, its feedback helps assure that projects address community needs. Likewise, the public gains a better understanding of the tradeoffs and constraints associated with transportation planning.
