Abstract:

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) employs a range of methods and strategies to incorporate Texans in the many aspects of planning, project implementation and partnerships. This public involvement process is supported by TxDOT specific, state of Texas and federal legislative codes, which define involvement and cover basic requirements for meetings, hearings, inclusion of underrepresented groups and environmental processes. In addition, TxDOT designed guidelines, manuals and other materials to assist staff in conduct of public involvement activities. Because public involvement is a core component of transportation planning and project implementation, the public’s expectation is that their values and opinions will be included in each phase of the transportation process. The Texas Sunset Advisory Commission’s 2009 report recommended that TxDOT develop a more meaningful, consistent public involvement process, along with a policy statement reflecting the agency’s philosophy. With that objective, several key tasks were undertaken to strengthen TxDOT’s liaisons with the public. This project analyzed several meetings held by TxDOT, reviewed TxDOT’s literature and regulations, and assessed documents from other states. Also, interviews with representatives of governments that worked with TxDOT, TxDOT staff, and representatives of the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission were conducted. These synthesized findings led to the development of a policy statement and recommendations for consideration by TxDOT staff.
