Public Involvement

Transportation engineers are professional problem-solvers with the technical skills to address even the most complex problems. However, technical expertise is not always enough to develop plans that meet the needs of the public.

Pat Noyes & Associates works with transportation agencies to involve the public in developing projects, plans and programs that meet their needs. Effective public involvement goes beyond mandatory public hearings and includes the public as active participants in the planning and implementation of transportation projects.

We have designed and facilitated public involvement and public decision making processes for complex planning efforts. We utilize a variety of involvement techniques and build processes designed to engage the community in transportation planning studies

Our projects include:

I-70 Mountain Corridor Context Sensitive Solutions
South I-25 EIS
Denver's Downtown Multimodal Access Plan
Ports to Plains Corridor Development and Management Plan
Colorado Springs East-West Mobility Study

Pat is the author of Chapter 6: Effective Public Involvement of the Traffic Engineering Handbook, 5th Edition. She has extensive training in mediation, conflict management and public process design.
