Understanding the Public Comment Process

 

Public input is a vital part of our planning process. When draft plans and reports are ready for review, we open a public comment period—typically lasting 30 to 45 days—to gather feedback from the community.

 

We’ll notify the public through a variety of channels, including:

 

• Local newspapers such as the Frontiersman

• Social media platforms

• Community bulletin boards and other public notice outlets

 

During the comment period, all feedback received will be logged, reviewed, and thoughtfully addressed. Your input helps shape the final version of each document before it is presented to the Technical Advisory Committee and Policy Board for final review and approval. Stay connected and make your voice heard—your feedback helps guide the future of transportation in our region.
