ARC General Public Participation Documents
Citizens Guide to Transportation Planning (PDF)
This guide has been developed to enable citizens to understand and participate in transportation planning activities that may impact their community or their quality of life. It informs interested citizens of the goals and processes of transportation planning, who is doing this planning, when is it being done, and who to contact in order to get involved.
Transportation Public Participation Plan (PDF)
Adopted by the ARC Board in December 2006, the plan details public involvement goals and objectives, the transportation planning process and products, evaluation measures for public involvement activities, ARC policies for citizen input for ARC Board and Committee meetings, and more. If there is a need to provide this document in another format, please contact ARC with this request.
