Abstract:This case study discuses virtual public involvement (VPI) strategies implemented by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) to help meet National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) public hearing requirements for the Interstate (I)-526 Lowcountry Corridor (LCC) WEST project. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) typically requires that agencies hold in-person public hearings, in accordance with 23 U.S. Code (U.S.C.) ยง 128. SCDOT held a hybrid public hearing in December 2020 and January 2021 with both virtual and in-person participation options. As part of the I-526 LCC WEST project, SCDOT also conducted outreach efforts specifically aimed toward reaching underserved populations in the project area to share information and to shape mitigation activities to address disproportionately high and adverse impacts.
