Abstract
Public involvement is a key component of virtually all successful transportation projects. Roads have such an impact upon our communities and landscapes, so it makes sense that people have a say in what happens with transportation projects. Public participation builds trust and support among planners, stakeholders, and local citizens. A green roadway project created with people rather than for them stands a better chance of benefiting everyone involved.
