Public Participation Plan

Project Description

SBCAG is updating its Public Participation Plan, which guides how SBCAG informs, engages and gathers input from the public during regional transportation planning, programming and project-related activities.

The Plan describes SBCAG’s approach to public participation, including principles for engagement, tools and strategies for reaching communities, language access and accessibility considerations, and ways to evaluate whether engagement is working.

The updated Plan will replace the current Public Participation Plan and provide a practical framework for future engagement across SBCAG programs, plans, and projects.

Public Participation

Public input is part of developing the Plan itself. SBCAG is seeking feedback on how people want to receive information, participate in transportation decisions and hear back about how their input was considered.

A draft Public Participation Plan is anticipated to be released for public review on Nov. 9.

You can participate in the Plan’s development through the online survey, stakeholder meeting, public review of the draft Plan, and upcoming public meetings and hearing.

Online Survey

Open until Oct. 21
