SBCAG Opens Survey as It Rewrites Its Public Participation Plan
The regional transportation planning agency wants to know how residents want to receive information and take part in transportation decisions. The online survey runs through Oct. 21.
The Santa Barbara County Association of Governments has opened an online community survey as it rewrites its Public Participation Plan, the document that guides how the agency informs, engages and gathers input from the public during regional transportation planning.
“SBCAG is seeking feedback on how people want to receive information, participate in transportation decisions and hear back about how their input was considered,” the agency says on its project page. The survey is open through Oct. 21.
The updated plan will replace the current Public Participation Plan and lay out the agency's approach to engagement, including its principles, tools and strategies for reaching communities, language access and accessibility, and ways to measure whether the outreach is working.
A draft of the new plan is expected to be released for public review on Nov. 9. A stakeholder meeting for member agencies, community organizations and partners is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, on Zoom. The draft then goes to the North County and South Coast subregional planning committees at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 13, before a public hearing by the SBCAG Board of Directors at 10 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 21. SBCAG notes the meeting dates are subject to change.
