The Prince William County Department of Transportation Enhancing Transparency and Public Participation in Transportation program was launched in 2020 to improve public outreach and engagement and develop processes that incorporate the input received to improve policy making and administration of mobility solutions in the County. The global pandemic and subsequent economic downturn have presented enormous challenges for the program, however, it has also highlighted the need for government to be innovative, adaptive and committed to keeping the community informed of, and active participants in, the planning, funding and implementation of transportation. The Enhancing Transparency and Public Participation in Transportation program has achieved these goals by developing a program that essentially functions as a feedback loop, allowing the results of initial initiatives of the program to inform future efforts. This has resulted in significant achievements in communications, public participation and public feedback driven policies and projects. .
