  • Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan and the 20-Year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan Through One Joint Process
    T Appendix D FULL ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY APPENDIX D FULL ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY PAGE 151 INTRODUCTION The Minnesota Department of Transportation updated the Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan and the 20-year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan through one joint process. As part of the update process, MnDOT integrated public engagement with technical tasks for both plans. This appendix includes a summary of public and stakeholder engagement activities completed, audiences reached, results and outcomes. This summary includes engagement activities f for all project stages. Engagement Approach MnDOT based the engagement approach for the plan update process on the following principles: • Go to the public and partners. Do not make them come to us. • Design tools to facilitate different levels of engagement. Individuals vary in interest and knowledge but everyone should be able to participate. • Be responsive and adaptive. Tailor tools and techniques to the needs of each specific group or event. • Partner with traditionally underserved communities to design an engagement approach that works for them. • Focus on involving more individuals and trying new things, but do not forget about traditional stakeholders and tested tools. • Collect data, regularly report on outreach activities, implement lessons learned and fine-tune the approach. Engagement Phases The joint plan update process included several engagement phases. The focus of engagement was different in each phase. The following table provides more detail. PAGE 152 MINNESOTA GO STATEWIDE MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN Table D-1: Project phase and engagement focus PROJECT PHASE FOCUS OF ENGAGEMENT Engagement for both plans consisted of getting the Project initiation word out about the plan updates. MnDOT asked phase participants to provide input on the project scope, when appropriate.
