BRTB seeks feedback on public participation process

The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) is currently reviewing its policies related to public involvement and outreach as part of an effort to update the Public Participation Plan.

The BRTB has developed a short survey to gather input from key stakeholders and members of the public and we would like your feedback!

Questions include:

• What are the barriers to your participation in the regional planning process?
• Do you attend public meetings?  If so, do you prefer virtual or in person?
• Do you feel as if your comments make a difference in a transportation plan or project?
• What kinds of information would you like to see BMC and the BRTB share?
• What suggestions do you have to improve public participation and engagement?

Survey responses will help to shape the update to the BRTB Public Participation Plan, which will be released for a 45-day comment period during the summer. 

Take our survey on public participation now at publicinput.com/2022publicparticipation. This survey can be translated into over 100 different languages using the embedded google translate tool. You can also take the survey via text by texting the phrase ‘2022publicparticipation’ to the number 73224. If you want a print copy, please request one from the Public Involvement Coordinator at 410-732-0500 x1047 or 2022publicparticipation@PublicInput.com.  You may also talk with someone who can record your survey responses.
