The NJTPA Board of Trustees adopted the Public Engagement Plan (PEP) at its November 19, 2018 meeting. The PEP outlines how we plan to involve the region’s residents in our programs, projects and plans. The PEP describes our goals and objectives for public engagement while also identifying specific approaches, techniques and opportunities for ongoing communication and interaction with the public. We are committed to understanding the public’s diverse needs, concerns and ideas about our region.
What is in the PEP?
The PEP describes different ways we promote participation by all members of the public interested in our activities to improve regional transportation. It includes information on:
- Communicating with us and accessing information;
- NJTPA Board, Committee and other public meetings;
- The NJTPA’s public and stakeholder involvement process for major plans and programs;
- Our commitment to serving the needs of the region’s broadly diverse population; and
- Guidance on public participation for staff of partner agencies or consultants working on NJTPA-sponsored projects and programs.
