Case Studies The RC attempts to assist our partners in learning about the best activities going on around the country. The following are some examples that we and others have documented:
Public Involvement
-
FHWA now has a public involvement web site with resources to help you to involve the public more effectively.
-
Community impact assessment is a process employed to evaluate the effects of a transportation action on a community and its quality of life. The process ensures that human values and concerns receive proper attention during planning and project development, and alerts affected communities and residents, as well as planners and decision-makers, to the likely consequences of a transportation project. The CIA web site has moved to the University of University of South Florida. National CIA website.
The Florida Division of FHWA, FDOT and the 25 Florida MPOs conducted a benchmarking process of the public involvement techniques used in developing long-range transportation plans. Four Non-Florida MPOs, FHWA's Headquarter's staff, a public-private partnership and a consultant specializing in benchmarking participated. The report covers best practices and innovative techniques. A copy of the final report is on the MCB web site.
