Public participation is a key component to the regional transportation planning process. The GBNRTC encourages public participation at all of its meetings and solicits input in all areas of transportation planning by proving a forum for plans and ideas as well as decisions about major capital investments.
The GBNRTC has a formal policy that guides the public participation process, which was approved in January 2007. The Public Involvement Plan (PIP) provides guidelines for public involvement activities to be conducted by the GBNRTC and contains the policies and procedures for actively engaging the public in the transportation planning process.
