We created an interactive website for sharing project information and updates and collecting community input via interactive maps and survey components. The website was available in English, Spanish and Filipino. We also offered an integrated way to share input via text message.
We hosted a series of pop-up workshops (Spanish and English) throughout the County – both as standalone events and alongside key popular community gatherings, like the local farmer’s markets, Boys and Girls Clubs, and at Senior Centers.
These public feedback opportunities were promoted through NVTA’s mailing lists, social media, and poster ads at transit stops and on buses. To ensure accessibility for those without easy access to a computer or smartphone, the ads offered a way for people to submit ideas through text message.
We wrapped up the project by creating an informational video overview of the draft plan and inviting community input via a collaborative PDF commenting tool. We wrapped up with a virtual open house.
