The purpose of the Public Involvement Portal is to provide resources for practitioners working on transportation plans, projects, and programs to develop outreach strategies and effectively engage a broad representation of community members. The communication guidance and templates shared within our Public Involvement Portal should be used as appropriate. The public engagement approaches and tools developed will depend on a project’s type, complexity, context, and the level of involvement required. The most effective public engagement considers the project’s objectives, phase of development, and the targeted audiences’ needs. No single method will be effective in communicating with all parties. A combination of approaches may be needed to effectively engage the broad range of stakeholders and the public. Before developing public involvement materials for NMDOT, consult with NMDOT’s NEPA environmental and public engagement staff to determine the best communication strategies and tools to use.
