TRB Webinar: Potential Use of Social Media in the NEPA Process
170116

TRB Webinar: Potential Use of Social Media in the NEPA Process

TRB conducted a webinar on March 12, 2014, from 2:00pm to 3:30pm ET that presented information included in a report on the “Potential Use of Social Media in the NEPA Process.” The report identifies how social media might be used to both foster interactive dialogue and reach stakeholders who might not otherwise participate in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Contact Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.

Social media has the potential to supplement the public involvement aspects of the NEPA process. The webinar included an overview of survey results and case study observations that inform suggested practices for implementing social media as a NEPA public involvement tool.


Webinar Presenters
  • Eileen Barron, Utah Department of Transportation
  • Shane Peck, Parsons Brinckerhoff
  • Marie Venner, Venner Consulting
Moderated by: Lloyd Brown, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)


Webinar Outline
  • PART 1: Review survey results in the report using infographics
  • PART 2: Lessons learned from case studies in the report
  • PART 3: Suggestions for implementing social media in the NEPA process, including determining the purpose for social media outreach, selecting tools, developing a protocol, and addressing negative comments and misinformation
  • PART 4: Summary of key themes
  • PART 5: Question and answer session
The first 60 minutes of the webinar will be for presentations and the final 30 minutes will be reserved for audience questions.


Learning Objectives
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
  • Describe how agencies are currently using social media for NEPA;
  • Identify examples of social media supporting NEPA public involvement; and
  • Explain where to find the “Suggested Practices Guidance Resource.”
