The U.S. DOT Office of the Secretary’s Office of Public Engagement is holding a virtual public involvement workshop on September 9, 2024, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time, building on in-person workshops delivered across the country, between April and July 2024. This workshop will engage community leaders and members of the public on the transportation decision-making process and how they can ensure their voices are heard. Participants will learn how their involvement can make a difference in the transportation system in their communities. The content in this workshop is based on Transportation Decision-Making: A Guide to Getting Involved, which provides community leaders and the public with an overview of the transportation decision-making process and provides information about how to get involved to make a difference in transportation in their community. Whether you have engaged in the transportation decision-making process before, or this is your first time learning about it, we encourage you to consider attending this workshop. As more people like yourself learn and get involved in the decision-making process, more informed and beneficial transportation projects can come to your communities. Please visit the Public Engagement Workshop webpage for more information and to register for the workshop. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline to register is Friday, September 6, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The deadline to request an accommodation is Friday, August 30, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.
