Public participation is essential to ensuring that transportation systems serve community goals. Innovative use of a broad array of public relations and communications strategies can help to build public understanding and support for projects and techniques that improve transportation efficiency. Polls, opinion surveys, focus groups, alternative dispute resolution, and media campaigns may helpfully supplement more traditional public hearings, workshops, advisory committees, and task forces.
