Title: Increasing Citizen Voice in Transportation Related Decision-Making: A Model for Citizen Engagement
Abstract: Although, it is understood that public participation is fundamental to the planning process, practitioners struggle with low levels of participation. Transportation planners, practitioners, and scholars have had difficulty in selecting an appropriate public participation model to help solve the problem by applying the Public Participation Process (PPP) Model for management. This paper expands the relevance of the public participation models by introducing the PPP Model to help in the understanding and implementation of citizen participation in transportation decision-making. Previous literature have models of public participation models, but this Model goes beyond other public participation models by integrating additional steps of public participation in order to gain a fuller picture of evaluating and measuring effectiveness of public participation outreach efforts. Key elements of the PPP Model include six steps: Inform; Access; Listen; Engage/Involve; Standing/Influence; and Influence-Policymaking.
