Abstract:In order to have effective public involvement, governments need a road map for
the decision-making process. Yet, citizens from small and medium sized cities
frequently do not have the resources to use sophisticated technology for public
involvement programs. With limited budgets, small cities and towns frequently
are not able to allocate substantial resources to public involvement. Having
the funds for constructing transportation infrastructure is the priority of the
local government. At the same time, if the public is not involved in the
decision-making, the government may run into major community resistance after
investing time and money into pursuing its preferred alternative. This paper
presents a variety of low cost techniques. It reviews how to: identify and
recruit participants for public involvement, promote local leadership and
ownership of the process, design decision-making processes that work, keep
diverse groups focused on accomplishing results, and solicit input and
participation without creating unrealistic expectations. 9p.
