Public Participation Plan
The awareness and involvement of interested persons in governmental processes are critical to successful regional transportation planning and programming. When members of the public are 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 regional 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.
Adopted April 7, 2022
On April 7, 2022, SCAG’s Regional Council adopted an updated Public Participation Plan designed to be accessible to a general audience and adaptable in anticipation of evolving technologies and practices. SCAG’s planning work serves a large and diverse region, and public participation is an essential component of the agency’s planning process. This plan is key to ensuring that SCAG’s approach to public engagement is effective and inclusive.
