WSDOT seeks input on proposed Community Engagement Plan

The Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking comments on its proposed plan to guide how the agency engages with partners, stakeholders, Tribes, communities and the public.

The WSDOT Community Engagement Plan will guide agency outreach from the earliest stages of planning through project and service delivery, and continuing into maintenance and operations. The plan is designed to help increase consent on decisions, improve understanding, and improve public access to information and decision making. Comments on the plan can be submitted by email to benniob@wsdot.wa.gov and will be accepted through June 22, 2015.

The agency’s strategic plan, Results WSDOT, directs WSDOT to strengthen partnerships to increase credibility, drive priorities and inform decision making. This Community Engagement Plan is consistent with Results WSDOT, state law, and federal expectations.
