Philosophy

“I believe that people are genuinely interested and want to be involved in planning projects that may impact their community, but they need to trust that their voices and concerns will be heard and considered in the planning process. Transparency, trust and 2-way communication are key when working with the public.”

public outreach

Our work in public involvement centers on educating people to make informed decisions about their transportation and community needs.  We cater our outreach approach to accommodate the public, first understanding how they prefer to be engaged. At the inception of a project, we seek to engage all segments of the population to cultivate a sense of community, ownership and cooperation.  Much of our work is conducted at a “grass roots” level so that we are visible to the community. “Our philosophy is to seek rather than be sought, and we accomplish that by implementing a proactive and transparent public outreach approach.”
