Title: CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN A RURAL STATE
Accession Number: 00240293
Record Type: Component
Abstract: THE DIFFICULTY IN SECURING CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IS DISCUSSED. TYPICAL SITUATIONS INVOLVING TRANSPORTATION ARE DESCRIBED. IN MAINE PROBLEMS RELATE TO CITIZENS' DEMAND FOR MORE HIGHWAYS RATHER THAN TO THEIR OBJECTION TO HIGHWAY OR TRANSPORTATION MODES FOR A PARTICULAR CORRIDOR. THERE IS, HOWEVER, A MINORITY INTEREST IN THE CURTAILMENT OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION. FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS PLACED ON RURAL STATES ARE SOMETIMES UNNECESSARY AND MAY LEAD TO CONFUSION. PUBLIC MEETINGS ARE NOT WELL PATRONIZED AND OFTEN SERVE NO MORE THAN PROVIDING DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE THAT SUCH A MEETING WAS HELD. PRE-PUBLIC-HEARING INFORMATION MEETINGS ARE MORE CONSTRUCTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING THE OPINION OF THE TRULY CONCERNED. HIGHWAY CONTROVERSIES OVER RURAL ROADS AND CONTROVERSY INVOLVING JURISDICTION OVER SEA TRANSPORTATION ARE THE ISSUES COVERED IN AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION AFTER THE PAPER.
