Public Involvement in Transportation Decision-Making (5/22-5/25)
May 22, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - May 25, 2023 @ 4:00 pm
This course isn’t just about simply accepting the public’s ideas—it’s about strengthening project decision-making, increasing creativity in problem-solving, and making sure project solutions are more durable.
This is a highly interactive course that will offer techniques to help participants acknowledge the full spectrum of stakeholders and community members; understand all stakeholders’ and community members’ interests and concerns; identify which engagement approaches are effective for all stakeholder groups; and conduct public involvement using integrative facilitation.
Participants will have time to practice PI techniques and strategies in class, including opportunities to work through the issues facing their own agencies and organizations and collaborate with other learners to create strategies to successfully address these issues.
Intended for: Transit Systems
Cost: FREE (Seats are limited)
Taking place May 22 through May 25 from 12:00 pm to 4 pm each day
