Effective public involvement is essential for creating a transit system that meets the needs of the communities it serves. In this session, an expert panel will share their insights, and participants will engage in collaborative discussions to explore effective practices for public involvement, share common challenges, and identify practical, real-world solutions to improve engagement. By the end of the session, you will be equipped with a toolkit of strategies to ensure that the voices of your community actively shape the future of transit.
