Alaska: Evaluation Through Public Engagement Case Study
|
Case Study |
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT) began in 1996 to redefine the agency's relationship to the public. Through self-assessment, the ADOT determined that its communication was too oriented to public relations, resulting in a one-way flow of information to the public. They saw the requirement for proactive outreach to the public in ISTEA as an opportunity to create a two-way communication process and better define the role of the public in agency decision making. |
