Introduction

This survey is intended to evaluate Oregon Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) local consultation practices regarding the following processes:

• Conferring with affected local officials and other interested parties in accordance with established rules, plans, policies, procedures or programs;
• Considering the input of local officials and other interested parties before taking action;
• Periodically informing local officials and other interested parties about actions taken; and
• Implementing public involvement processes.

The questions in this survey ask about your experiences with statewide transportation planning and programming activities. Transportation planning refers to your participation in activities, such as updating the Oregon Transportation Plan or any of its component mode and topic plans, including the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and the Oregon Public Transportation Plan. The survey also includes questions about your involvement in developing the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), reflecting on the processes used to prioritize and program projects.
