COORDINATION
Coordination is essential in the implementation of the County’s TSP. Input from community residents and businesses, a
broad range of public agencies, elected officials, non-profit organizations, and special interest groups is needed in order
to develop a transportation plan that meets the transportation needs and aspirations of the County in an efficient and
equitable manner.

Public Involvement
Engaging the general public and interested
stakeholders is imperative to ensure that
the transportation system effectively meets
the needs of all County residents and busi-
nesses, and to ensure that recommended
transportation system improvements are
implemented in a fair and equitable man-
ner. Public involvement is critical during
plan development to ensure that transporta-
tion needs are appropriately defined and
that solutions are identified that will meet
the community’s aspirations. Washington
County uses an active citizen involvement
program during all stages of transportation
planning and project development. Methods

for engaging the public, interested stake-
holders, and community groups are constantly evolving. In 2014 the County adopted Public Involvement Guidelines for
Transportation Planning, Programs and Projects through Resolution & Order 14-115. As stated in the Guidelines,

Public input provides transportation decision makers with community insights that illuminate the issues being
considered. Community input is an important consideration along with technical data, analysis, and professional
expertise in helping decision makers reach an informed decision. LUT is committed to providing access to informa-
tion and meaningful public participation opportunities in our transportation planning, programs, and projects.

The Guidelines are a resource for:
• LUT staff and project team members involved in transportation planning, project selection, and project
development, or final design and construction of capital transportation projects;
• Transportation planning, program, or project decision makers, stakeholders, and other participants; and

• The general public.
