Public Engagement Plan - 2020 Public Review Period
Public Engagement Plan - 2020 Public Review Period
Meaningful and effective community engagement is essential to the successful implementation of a public plan, project, or program, and is necessary to ensure the needs of the local community are adequately addressed. The Public Engagement Plan (PEP) is an action plan to involve and engage the public in transportation planning. It guides the public, GTC staff, member agencies, and sponsors who administer GTC-funded projects and programs through the public participation aspects of transportation projects.
This Draft Plan is available for a minimum of a 45-day public review and comment period between Friday, November 13, 2020 and Monday, January 4, 2021.
The Plan is organized into sections for each type of work product along with the public involvement opportunity. Each includes a description of what it is, why it is important, the public participation process, publicity, arrangements for accessibility and accommodations, contingency plans, how and when each is reviewed, amended and updated, and references for more detailed information.
