 Download a PDF version of SPC's Public Participation Plan.
Public Participation is the cornerstone of an effective transportation planning process. SPC conducts an open process that actively involves individuals, groups and communities from the earliest stages, including identifying needs and resources, developing alternatives, and deciding to implement solutions.
Citizens can take an active role in the process by attending public meetings, and reviewing documents, maps and related materials to the proposed subject matter. These meetings offer the public the opportunity to ask questions of SPC staff and its partner agencies, providing the opportunity to deliver informed public comment.
When public meetings are scheduled, they are advertised in regional newspapers and recognized minority publications. In addition, SPC will prominently place information on this website. Information is also made available in hard copy through the Document Review Network, SPC’s network of more than 60 libraries in its 10 county service area. At these locations, public meeting information can be reviewed in hard copy or online.
Public Comment periods last for 30 days (note: the SPC Public Participation Plan requires a 45 day review.) During that time, the public will have an opportunity to provide comments using the following methods:
- In person, at scheduled public meetings
- Written comments will be accepted using the following:
- Comments can also be submitted by mail to:
