Public Participation Plan

Public participation is an important part of the regional transportation decision-making process carried out by RTC. This agency’s Public Participation Plan outlines a broad range of opportunities for the public and stakeholders to participate in the region’s transportation planning process. In the Plan, RTC continues its commitment to publish, or make available for public view, transportation plans and TIPs, and to hold public meetings at convenient and accessible times and locations. RTC also commits to use maps, charts, graphics and website information in order to help explain the metropolitan transportation planning process and to make metropolitan transportation planning information available to the public.

The latest update to RTC’s Public Participation Plan was adopted by RTC Board Resolution 12-20-30 on December 1, 2020. The current Plan meets federal requirements for metropolitan transportation planning. The Plan was adopted following release of a draft Plan for public comment on October 9, 2020. The draft Plan was then circulated to interested parties. Notice of its release for public comment was published in local newspapers, including The Columbian, The Reflector (Battle Ground), the Camas-Washougal Post-Record, the The Asian Reporter, and The Skanner. The draft Plan was also posted to this website and links to the information provided to local neighborhood associations.
