Abstract:This case study discusses virtual public involvement (VPI) strategies implemented by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) to help meet National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) public hearing requirements for the South Lawrence Trafficway (SLT) West Leg project. Agencies typically hold in-person public hearings, in accordance with 23 U.S. Code (U.S.C.) § 128. KDOT held a hybrid public hearing with both virtual and in-person participation options, including a virtual component, an in-person component, and a Virtual “Open House.” KDOT leveraged both traditional and virtual outreach strategies, even prior to the pandemic, on the SLT project to ensure robust participation.
