Measuring the effectiveness of public involvement is a constant challenge to professionals charged with public involvement activities. Public involvement performance measures have the potential to capture qualitative outcomes, such as whether people feel they have had adequate opportunities to participate in a public outreach process they understand information received, they felt their input was considered, and much more.
This webinar will describe various public involvement performance measurements and metrics. Presenters will also demonstrate a software tool currently being tested and used by the Florida Department of Transportation to capture public sentiment about their involvement. These performance measures and the software tool may be models for others to consider or emulate.
This webinar has been organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Public Involvement.
