Community
Outreach
Community participation
is an important part of
New Jersey Department
of Transportation's (NJDOT)
projects.
The principal elements of the
Public Involvement Plan
(PIAP) are:
- Effective communication and
coordination with local
governments, the general
public and public agencies
- Inventive strategies to
inform the public and
mutual dialogue on transportation
improvement options which
maximize benefits and
minimize impacts
- Regulatory agreement which
ensures participation
is broad and complete
(Environmental Justice,
Section 106 HP)
The Concept Development phase
of the project includes
outreach to members of
the public in the transportation
improvement development
process and their comments and concerns throughout
the project phases. Community
outreach strategies include:
- Local Officials Briefings
- Meetings with Community
Advisory Committee (CAC)
- Public Open House and Public
Information Centers
- Web site
- Newspaper announcements
and mailings
Community
Advisory Committee
An official CAC will be
established in the fall
of 2009 to work with
NJDOT and the project
team to exchange information
on the project and to
assist in developing
improvements to
Route 1 in the study
area. Two meetings are
tentatively scheduled
