Public Involvement is a process by which planning agencies search out the public and diligently work to elicit responses from them concerning transportation projects. Public involvement is an extremely vital part of the rural planning process, because it gives HARPO and other transportation officials an opportunity to gather ideas from the public concerning transportation plans and programs for the four rural counties. Public involvement and input is essential to adequately consider the impacts that planning processes have on the overall social, economic, energy, and environmental effects of transportation decisions. The purpose of the public involvement process is for planning agencies to make better decisions that will reflect the community's mobility and accessibility needs. Rural Planning Organizations (RPOs) encourage public involvement in all planning activities. RPOs encourage efforts to broaden and improve public participation in planning. The intended outcome of the public involvement process is for planning agencies to develop plans and programs that reflect community needs; encompass community values, interests and priorities; and have broad community support.
