Citizen and Community Participation in Transportation Planning and Decision Making
To provide an opportunity tor the public to be heard and provide its inputs to public transportation works planning, it has been common to hold public hearings before major projects are approved. Such hearings on major decisions sometimes are required by law or by agency regulations. The criticism is often leveled that hearings are held after all major decisions have been made and are considered by officials to be a formality rather than an opportunity for community expression. However, particularly in the recent past, the objections transportation engineering raised by a coalition of opposition forces to proposed projects have been so strong that officials have found it necessary to reject the proposed plan or to make major changes in it. Thus, although public hearings may be required, their effectiveness in gaining community agreement and support has been seriously questioned.
