Public Involvement Software Designed for DOTs & MPOs

Transportation teams are tasked with engaging diverse communities across wide geographies and tight timelines. Without a centralized system, outreach becomes reactive and data stays fragmented. PublicInput streamlines every phase of the process, from early scoping to final design, by uniting outreach, feedback, and reporting in one platform. Teams can engage underserved communities using GIS-powered Equity Mapping, built-in language access, and offline tools like hotlines, voicemail, and text. AI-assisted analysis organizes feedback by theme, sentiment, and location, while interactive dashboards and GIS overlays support data-driven decisions and transparent communication with leadership and regulatory agencies. PublicInput also automates documentation and reporting to meet NEPA, Title VI, and FHWA requirements, eliminating spreadsheets and manual QA/QC work while keeping projects compliant and on track.
