Abstract
  • The planning procedures involved in providing transportation within urbanized areas have undergone a major transformation with the creation of the Intermodai Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA). Both include specific mandates that require administrators to develop a public involvement process that solicits meaningful and timely input from the general public. In accordance with these requirements, the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are required to promote increased community and private sector participation in all areas of transportation planning. To meet these requirements, the Greensboro Department of Transportation has changed their approach towards public involvement through the development of several innovative concepts. This paper will describe several case studies that illustrate these concepts.
