The awareness and involvement of interested persons in
governmental processes are critical to successful regional
transportation planning and programming. When the public is
engaged in the process, their feedback helps ensure projects
address community needs. Likewise, the public gains a better
understanding of the tradeoffs and constraints associated with
transportation planning. The Public Participation
Plan serves as a guide for SCAG’s public involvement process
as well as the continuing, comprehensive and coordinated planning
process among the stakeholders to ensure the ongoing opportunity
for broad-based participation in the development and review of
regional plans and programs.
