摘要: Public participation in the transportation field is the process through which transportation agencies inform and engage people in the transportation decision-making process. The benefits of engaging the public are many and include ownership of policies; better decisions that are sustainable, supportable, and reflect community values; agency credibility; and faster implementation of plans and projects. The transit industry regularly seeks public input on topics as varied as long-range, corridor, or local planning; facility design; and fare or service changes, to name a few. The strategies used often vary by agency, purpose, and target audience. However, engaging the public has proven difficult for many transit agencies. Across many public involvement efforts, low levels of participation can be traced to a lack of awareness about the importance of participation, as well as other interests and obligations that compete for peoples time. Additional challenges include time and mobility constraints, language barriers, social isolation, and distrust of and cynicism about government.
