Community-Based Outreach Program
To help ensure diverse and direct input into the 2030 RTP from residents throughout the San Diego region, SANDAG implemented an innovative program to secure participation from communities and individuals typically not involved in the regional transportation planning process. SANDAG awarded grant funding to community-based organizations through a competitive-bid process. The selected organizations conducted outreach activities to secure public involvement from stakeholders in their communities, to engage community-based participation in setting regional transportation priorities, and to generate feedback on the RTP. This program was modeled after a similar successful effort SANDAG conducted during the development of the Regional Comprehensive Plan. The feedback from the organizations follows this overview section and recommendations are featured in the draft Regional Transportation Plan.
