Virtual public involvement creates new possibilities for two-way communication, in real time, with fewer barriers, and offers innovative ways to reach riders, engage advocates, and shape policy. TRB hosted a webinar on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that will share highlights and key findings from TCRP Research Report 241: Inclusive Virtual Public Involvement for Public Transit. Presenters dove into effective virtual public engagement strategies tested by both transit agencies and community organizations. Presenters also shared innovative practices that worked during the pandemic and possible ways to apply or adapt techniques to make public-involvement efforts more inclusive and effective.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program.

The slides and recording are available.
